Edwards Lifesciences Acquisition
The $1.2 billion acquisition of JenaValve by Edwards Lifesciences positions Trilogy to expand the company’s TAVR market leadership. Analysts expect this approval to redefine treatment options for AR patients at high surgical risk.
“This marks a major milestone in structural heart therapy, unlocking treatment for a previously untreatable population,” GlobalData states.
