The new FlexNav delivery system for the Portico transcatheter heart valve improves transfemoral accessibility and deployment accuracy, demonstrating an excellent 30-day safety profile.
The new iteration of the Portico transcatheter heart valve delivery system, the FlexNav, has been designed to enhance procedural safety and accuracy of the platform. Major technological advancements were the significant reduction of the insertion profile, allowing a transfemoral access down to 5.0 mm vessels, and the addition of a stability layer, improving deployment accuracy and thus potentially reducing implantation depth and permanent pacemaker implantation rate. Published data on patients undergoing Portico transcatheter heart valve implantation with the new FlexNav delivery system confirms excellent procedural and 30-day safety profile.
