theflyonthewall.com: Medtronic completes enrollment in extreme risk study in CoreValve trial
Medtronic has completed patient enrollment in the extreme risk study in its CoreValve U.S. Pivotal Trial. The company also received approval from the FDA for an extended investigation to continue enrolling extreme risk patients under a Continued Access Study protocol. In the Trial’s second study evaluating high risk patients for aortic valve surgery, enrollment completion is anticipated later this year. The CoreValve U.S. Trial is evaluating the self-expanding CoreValve System in three sizes and using three delivery access routes: through the transfemoral artery in the upper leg, through the subclavian artery beneath the collar bone, and directly through the aorta via a commonly-used, minimally invasive surgical incision that does not penetrate the heart’s ventricular wall. :theflyonthewall.com
