TECHNOLOGY
Reach more mitral regurgitation patients with the latest in transcatheter solutions, Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI).
LASTING CONFIDENCE
Abbott pioneered the breakthrough MitraClip therapy, which provides unmatched TMVr efficacy.1-4
CLOSURE DEVICE5
Amplatzer PFO Occluder created the category for PFO occlusion, sustained leadership over decades of use, and was the first device supported by positive PFO trial results.6
Mitral Regurgitation
A condition in which the mitral valve does not close completely during contraction of the left ventricle, causing blood to leak backward into the left atrium.
Aortic Stenosis
A narrowing of the aortic valve, which reduces or blocks blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta.
Stroke Risk Reduction
Interventions to prevent thrombus formation include percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA) and the patent foramen ovale (PFO).
Congenital defects
Congenital heart defects can involve the walls of the heart, the heart valves, and arteries and veins near the heart, disrupting normal blood flow.
Epic Mitral
The Epic Mitral stented tissue valve is intended for patients requiring replacement of a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic mitral heart valve.
×MitraClip
MitraClip is a minimally invasive TMVr therapy that delivers a treatment option for patients with mitral regurgitation who would otherwise go untreated.
×Portico
The Portico TAVI system is a minimally invasive treatment for patients with aortic valve stenosis.
×Trifecta GT
The Trifecta Valve with Glide Technology (GT) is intended for patients requiring replacement of a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic aortic heart valve.
×Regent
The Regent mechanical heart valve is intended for patients requiring replacement of a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic aortic valve.
×Amplatzer Amulet LAA
A percutaneous transcatheter device intended to prevent thrombus embolization from the left atrial appendage (LAA) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
×Amplatzer PFO
Designed for patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, the Amplatzer PFO occluder significantly lowers the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke.
×Amplatzer Septal Occluder
A percutaneous transcatheter device for patients requiring atrial septal defect (ASD) closure.
×Amplatzer VSD Occluder
Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common congenital heart defect, and Amplatzer Muscular and Membranous VSD Occluders provide minimally invasive treatment options.

Alan: A return to normal life after cryptogenic stroke with the Amplatzer™ PFO Occluder
“It’s scary,” said Alan, who had had a stroke due to a patent foramen ovale, and who didn’t know if and when he might have a recurrent stroke. After Amplatzer PFO closure “He’s like a new man,” his wife, Emma, remarked about Alan, who’s back to walking 12 miles a day as a mail carrier. “And I owe everyone a massive thank you,” Alan said.
Jozef: “Finding Just the Right Device” Helped Turn His Life Around
Over time Jozef’s ventricular septal defect (VSD) precipitated endocarditis, which in turn led to heart failure and kidney failure. After receiving the Amplatzer VSD Occluder Jozef, amazed at his symptom improvement and ability to walk long distances again, said “I feel joy deep inside me—inside my heart.”
Gareth: Getting “A Second Life” with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
“It was so successful in terms of symptom relief, and his recovery was astoundingly quick,” explained Dave Smith, MD, interventional cardiologist who treated Gareth with the Portico valve. “My life is back, and I can do everything now,” said Gareth.
Alessandro: “I Was at the End of My Life” Before Receiving MitraClip
“I couldn’t walk anymore, I couldn’t climb stairs, I couldn’t do anything,” said Alessandro. After receiving MitraClip which eliminated his mitral regurgitation, “I started to feel well, my breathing was good again, and I could return to cutting grass with a scythe—really my life had begun again.”
Alan: Finally “Getting the Care” He Needed with Amplatzer PFO Occluder
“It’s scary,” said Alan, who had had a stroke due to a patent foramen ovale, and who didn’t know if and when he might have a recurrent stroke. After Amplatzer PFO closure “He’s like a new man,” his wife, Emma, remarked about Alan, who’s back to walking 12 miles a day as a mail carrier. “And I owe everyone a massive thank you,” Alan said.
