FDA Approves New CoreValve Low-Risk TAVR Study

Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) has announced FDA approval for a new study of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). But this trial is different; this trial will be in patients at low-risk for the standard surgical procedure (SAVR). The device will be Medtronic's latest TAVR iteration, the CoreValve® Evolut® R, approved last June by the FDA, and will include 1,200 patients at up to 80 sites.
