Both Evolut R and Evolut PRO, as well Sapien 3, received the expanded indication in today’s eagerly awaited announcement. (UPDATED) The US Food and Drug Administration has approved an expanded indication for the self-expanded Evolut series (Medtronic) and the balloon-expandable Sapien 3 and Sapien Ultra (Edwards Lifesciences) transcatheter heart valves for the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis at low risk for surgery. The valves are now approved across the entire spectrum of risk, including patients ineligible for bicuspid aortic valve stenosis surgery, those at high or intermediate risk, and—as of today—those at low risk. The expanded indication for the Medtronic devices is based on the results from the Evolut Low-Risk trial published earlier this year in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2019 Scientific Sessions. In that study, investigators led by Michael Reardon, MD (Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center, TX), randomized 1,468 patients to TAVR or to surgery.
