Good Samaritan Hospital Now Offers New Minimally-Invasive Valve Replacement Technology for Patients with Aortic Valve Disease

22-Jul-2019

Los Angeles (July 22, 2019) – Good Samaritan Hospital is among the first hospitals in Los Angeles to offer the LOTUS Edge™ Valve System to high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis.

As a non-surgical alternative for these patients, often with complex anatomical challenges, the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) device is delivered via a minimally-invasive procedure to restore proper valve function.

The Boston Scientific LOTUS Edge device is the only aortic valve approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that is 100 percent repositionable, which enables physicians to precisely place the new valve into an optimal position in the heart; thereby helping to improve outcomes for the patient. And because not everyone’s valve is the same size, the device also features a braided valve frame and an adaptive seal that minimizes paravalvular regurgitation or leaking (PVL) by conforming to the patient’s native aortic valve.

Aortic valve stenosis affects seven percent of all people over the age of 65.1. The only effective treatment is to replace the aortic valve. Left untreated, severe aortic stenosis can eventually lead to heart failure, severe infection and even sudden death.
