Medtronic Gets CE Mark for Larger Sizes of CoreValve

Two larger sizes of the CoreValve Evolut R System are now available in Europe, according to Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT). Conformité Européene approval (CE Mark) has been granted to these new device sizes of 26mm and 29mm, expanding the range of patients that can be treated with this next generation TAVI platform. These new sizes utilize an extending skirt designed to further promote valve sealing at the annulus in order to reduce paravalvular leak.
