Edwards' Larry Wood discusses TAVR evolution, new clinical paradigms, and addressing treatment gaps
Update: 2024-11-17
Description
In this episode of Structural Heart Talks, Larry Wood, Corporate VP and Group President, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Surgical Structural Heart at Edwards Lifesciences, discusses the transformative journey of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the SAPIEN valve. Wood reflects on the innovation that enables minimally invasive heart valve replacement, which has become the standard of care for severe aortic stenosis and offers patients faster recovery and greater independence.
The conversation explores Edwards’ efforts to expand access to TAVR, emphasizing the importance of reducing undertreatment and addressing outdated clinical guidelines that delay intervention. Wood also highlights findings from the recent EARLY TAVR study, which challenges long-standing paradigms and advocates for changes to the guidelines to allow earlier treatment of aortic stenosis before symptoms appear.
