AT THE 2018 CRT MEETING


“There are two variables to consider,” Dr. Popma said. “One is the valve and one is how much we’ve evolved our procedure over the past couple of years.” He indicated that these data do not preclude advances that would improve results in NAVR even without developing new valves specific for this indication.

Dr. Dvir reported financial relationships with Edwards Lifesciences, Medtronic, Abbott, and Jena.
