MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute Completes First Successful TriClip Procedure for Tricuspid Valve Repair
LONG BEACH, Calif., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The cardiology team at the MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Long Beach Medical Center, led by Chief of Cardiology David Shavelle, M.D., performed Long Beach Medical Center's first transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement procedure using a new, innovative treatment option – the transcatheter edge-to edge repair (TEER) TriClip G4 System in September of 2024. The FDA-approved TriClip is a small clipping device designed to clip two or more of the leaflets of the tricuspid, offering a minimally invasive treatment option to patients who have tricuspid regurgitation (TR) – a condition where the tricuspid valve does not close completely when the right ventricle contracts. This device – implanted via a catheter inserted in the vein of the leg – helps reduce tricuspid regurgitation and promotes an immediate improvement in blood flow and allows patients to benefit from a less traumatic procedure and a faster recovery. This advanced technology marks a new era for treating tricuspid valve disease since prior to its introduction, patients could only receive a device better suited for the mitral valve (MitraClip® device). The TriClip device was specifically made for the tricuspid valve. In a large clinical trial, the device was shown to reduce symptoms and hospitalization for heart failure for patients at high-risk for open-heart surgery. 'This new procedure represents a significant advancement in our ability to treat high-risk patients with tricuspid valve heart disease,' says Dr. Shavelle, who led the landmark procedure. 'Historically there wasn't much we could do for those who still had symptoms after tricuspid regurgitation treatment and who were at high-risk for open heart surgery. This device gives patients access to improved quality of life.' This procedure was performed by a highly skilled, diverse team of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists and advanced imaging specialists from the MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Long Beach Medical Center. Implantation of the TriClip with the TriClip G4 System is as effective as open-heart surgery, helping patients return to their daily lives in one to two days. 'The patient recovered in the hospital for about two days, and he was able to return to his daily life the following day,' says Dr. Shavelle. 'It's amazing to see the positive impact this device has on our patients, allowing them to return to their daily lives with improved heart function and overall well-being.' The patient who received this procedure, Anthony Williams, reported being fatigued constantly with excessive swelling of the legs (edema) before the procedure. Today, he is more energetic than ever and ready to take on each day. MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Long Beach Medical Center is the first institute in the region to use this device and continues to lead in cardiovascular innovations, bringing patients with the latest technology advancements.

Abbott Stock Gains Following FDA Approval of the Tendyne System
Abbott Laboratories ABT has recently received Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') approval for its Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve replacement ('TMVR') system. The Tendyne system replaces mitral valves that are not functioning properly due to severe mitral annular calcification ('MAC'). The Tendyne system expands the company's comprehensive Structural Heart portfolio. After the announcement, Abbott shares edged up 1.3%, finishing at $132.94 yesterday. The company's Structural Heart arm benefits from a unique range of product portfolio, which includes MitraClip, a mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair system, and TriClip, a tricuspid valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair system. The portfolio also contains transcatheter aortic heart valves — Portico and Navitor. Hence, we expect the market sentiment toward ABT stock to remain positive surrounding the latest development. Abbott holds a market capitalization of $231.29 billion. The company's earnings yield of 3.9% surpasses the industry's 0.6%. ABT delivered an average earnings beat of 1.6% in the trailing four quarters. MAC stiffens the structure of the mitral valve and can lead to mitral regurgitation or stenosis that disrupts the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. The complex nature of this mitral valve disease and patients' specific needs and health conditions can pose challenges for surgical correction. The Tendyne system offers an alternative, minimally invasive way to replace the valve of patients with severe MAC who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. The innovative and unique design of the Tendyne system and the valve's availability in multiple sizes allow it to adapt to a range of patient anatomies. The self-expanding valve is delivered through a small incision in the chest and then advanced into the heart to replace the mitral valve. The valve is fully repositionable and retrievable during implantation, allowing for the best possible outcome for people requiring a valve replacement. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Per Medi-Tech Insights' report, the TMVR market is projected to witness a compound annual growth rate of 20% from 2025 to 2030. Key factors driving growth are increased prevalence of mitral valve diseases, growing preferences for minimally invasive procedures and expanding geriatric population. Earlier this month, Abbott unveiled results from its REFLECT real-world studies, conducted using data from the comprehensive Swedish National Diabetes Register. The findings revealed that the company's FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology helps significantly reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart complications in people with diabetes. Over the past year, Abbott's shares have risen 32%, surpassing the industry's 10.3% growth. Abbott currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some better-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are Phibro Animal Health PAHC, AngioDynamics ANGO and STERIS STE. PAHC carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present. It has an estimated long-term earnings growth rate of 26.2% compared with the industry's 15.9%. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 30.6%. Its shares have rallied 26.3% compared with the industry's 10% growth in the past year. AngioDynamics, carrying a Zacks Rank #1 at present, has an estimated earnings growth rate of 23.7% for 2025. ANGO's earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 70.85%. ANGO's shares have risen 49.2% in the past year compared with the industry's 5.5% growth. STERIS, carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present, has an estimated growth rate of 10.8% for 2025. STE's earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 0.61%. Its shares have risen 34.1% compared with the industry's 7.7% growth in the past year. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

FDA approves Abbott's TMVR system to treat mitral valve disease
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for Abbott's Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) system for individuals with mitral valve disease. This device claims to be the first of its kind to replace the mitral valve without the need for open-heart surgery. It is now available for those whose mitral valves are not working properly due to severe mitral annular calcification (MAC), a condition characterised by calcium buildup within the annulus supporting this valve. Abbott noted that for severe MAC patients at elevated risk for open-heart surgery, as well as those whose mitral valves could not be repaired with the company's MitraClip device, the TMVR system provides a minimally invasive replacement option for the leaky or narrowed valve. Tendyne is indicated for treating symptomatic severe mitral valve dysfunction in patients unsuitable for traditional surgical or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Designed to accommodate various patient anatomies, Tendyne is available in several sizes and features a self-expanding valve that can be delivered via a small chest incision and progressed into the heart for mitral valve replacement. The valve is retrievable and repositionable during implantation, optimising patient outcomes. According to Abbott, the health circumstances and requirements of patients, along with the intricate nature of mitral valve disease, present a challenge for surgical intervention. Abbott's structural heart business senior vice-president Sandra Lesenfants said: "Tendyne is a much-needed addition to our comprehensive US structural heart portfolio that offers less invasive treatment options for a range of heart diseases. "This approval builds on our more than two decades of mitral valve leadership, which includes developing first-of-their-kind devices that truly change – and save – people's lives." Abbott's recent REFLECT studies on its FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology have cut the risk of hospitalisation for heart complications in individuals with diabetes.
