After months of consideration, CMS has officially signed off on major changes to its TAVR policies. The treatment of asymptomatic patients is now covered by Medicare, for example, and fewer reporting requirements are in place when symptomatic patients undergo treatment.

The size-adjustable pulmonary valve was originally developed by Autus Valve Technologies, which Edwards Lifesciences acquired for $128.9 million. The device was designed to grow with pediatric patients as they age. Clinicians can expand it as necessary with a minimally invasive balloon procedure.

The end-to-end platform provides ultrasound imaging courtesy of a 360° catheter that creates real-time 2D and 3D maps of the patient’s heart. It also offers advanced visualization and navigation capabilities.

Researchers tracked several years of data from patients treated with one of nine different devices. They described the reduction in MR as “profound and durable.” Researchers tracked several years of data from patients treated with one of nine different devices.

While T-TEER is already known to improve a patient's quality of life, this late-breaking study from ESC Congress 2026 confirmed it also improves survival and reduces the risk of heart failure hospitalization.

Previous studies over the years have suggested women with severe mitral regurgitation face longer delays in care than men. This latest analysis suggests multidisciplinary care teams are helping put an end to that trend.
