TSMVR : Trans-septal Mitral Valve Replacement

An Overview of the Innovative HighLife TSMVR Solution

What is the HighLife TSMVR Solution?

This breakthrough treatment is intended for adult patients suffering from moderate to severe symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation, whether primary or secondary, who are considered to be at high surgical risk and therefore not viable candidates for other therapies such as transcatheter mitral valve repair or surgery.

Technology

The HighLife TSMVR is a dual component system consisting of a bovine pericardial valve and a ring that sits below the native mitral valve. Upon delivery, the valve centers itself inside the ring by aligning within the sub-annular component for positional stabilization.

The HighLife valve is available in two configurations: either as a standard valve or as a Clarity valve. The Clarity valve specifically targets patients with LVOT (Left Ventricular Outflow Tract) obstruction risk. It is currently under evaluation in clinical studies around the world.

How does it work

What are the advantages of the HighLife TSMVR Solution?

HighLife's unique design enables:
Self-centering and self-aligning valve
Allowing an easy and safe delivery
Respect for Patient anatomy
Atraumatic for the patient owing to its unique design and beating heart procedure
Efficient Sealing
HighLife's unique valve in ring concept minimizes paravalvular leaks risk
Adapting to a broad range of treatable native annulus
The valve can be implanted in native annuli from 30 mm to 53 mm
Effective procedure with significant and sustained MR reduction
100% of patients MR≤1
