Cardiovalve landed FDA breakthrough device designation in February for its transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement system. The agency also approved an early feasibility study of the system for a tricuspid regurgitation (TR) indication.
The company said it developed a transfemoral valve replacement system in which the valve mimics current surgical replacement solutions and is able to fit both mitral and tricuspid indications. The system can cover 90% of the patient population with three approved valve sizes using the same delivery system, according to Cardiovalve officials.
