Self-expanding, anatomically correct transapical aortic valve implantation Ehud Schwammenthal, MD, Ph. D Associate Professor of Cardiology Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel
DISCLOSURES Ehud Schwammenthal, MD, Ph. D Consulting Fees – Medtronic Cardio. Vascular, Inc. Honoraria – Medtronic Cardio. Vascular, Inc. The Engager device is not commercially available in any geography and only available for Clinical Study in the EU
Medtronic Engager Design Concept • • Self-expandable transcatheter valve Minimizes pressure loss at the inlet Maximizes pressure recovery at the outlet Optimized fluid dynamic shape (Venturi tube) allows to avoid oversizing of the diameter at annular-leaflet level Resulting shape – inlet, waist, outlet – creates an optimal anatomic fit facilitating intuitive deployment and axial fixation
Valve Hemodynamics EOA: 1. 62 cm 2 (5 L/min) Producing the hemodynamics of a 23 valve without oversizing at the native aortic orifice (CE Magna 21: 1. 48 cm 2 , Mitroflow 23: 1. 57 cm 2)* *Gerosa et al, The Journal of Thoracic and CV Surgery, May 2006

Summary – Medtronic Engager • Self-guided, reproducible and intuitive deployment into an anatomically correct position • Relies on axial in addition to radial forces for fixation • Leaves the coronary ostia unobstructed and accessible • Reduces the risk of perivalvular regurgitation • Applies proven surgical design standards for longterm durability
