CMS proposes major TAVR changes, including Medicare coverage for asymptomatic patients

After months of consideration, CMS has proposed sweeping changes to its TAVR coverage policies. The agency is accepting public comments until July 15.

READ MORE >
2024 has been a banner year for structural heart treatments, especially those focused on the tricuspid valve. In February, for example, Edwards Lifesciences made history when its Evoque transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) system became the first device of its kind to gain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for treating tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Two months later, Abbott’s TriClip transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system also gained FDA approval for the treatment of TR.
