Paradigm-shifting Hemodynamic Performance

 

DurAVR® THV has demonstrated paradigm-shifting hemodynamic results, measured by Effective Orifice Area (EOA), Mean Pressure Gradient (MPG) and Doppler Velocity Index (DVI), sustained to 1 year in small annuli.

DurAVR® THV has demonstrated restoration of physiologic flow dynamics

When compared to a healthy aortic valve using cardiac MRI, DurAVR® THV showed no significant difference in flow. In addition, baseline 4D cardiac MRI from the DurAVR® THV EFS study shows turbulent flow with helical and vortical flow patterns, while imagery taken 6 months post-DurAVR® THV implantation shows evidence of healthy laminar flow through the valve and into the ascending aorta. Cardiac MRI is considered the gold standard for assessing and quantifying valve flow dynamics.

DurAVR® THV has demonstrated a restorative effect on Left Ventricular Mass

Patients treated with DurAVR® THV have experienced significant left ventricular (LV) mass regression, measured on cardiac MRI. Matched analysis also confirmed that the LV mass after treatment with DurAVR® THV was comparable to levels seen in healthy controls. A higher LV mass prior to TAVR has been associated with higher death and rehospitalization five years post-procedure.1 Likewise, LV mass regression one year after TAVR has been associated with lower death and hospitalization rates to five years post-procedure.2
