As a leader in heart valves for over 60 years, Edwards Lifesciences is dedicated to providing you a destination for the latest transcatheter heart valve information, tools, resources, and innovative solutions.

Introducing the Edwards SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve

Building on the benefits of the SAPIEN 3 platform3,4,5, the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve features RESILIA tissue, an advanced calcium-blocking technology.1,2 The SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve takes TAVI even further with the potential to improve valve longevity and reduce reintervention.1

Edwards SAPIEN 3 TAVI: changing lives starts with outcomes

SAPIEN 3 TAVI is an excellent choice for patients with severe aortic stenosis, regardless of symptoms.12-15

Durable outcomes through 5 years icon

In the randomized, controlled PARTNER 3 Trial studying TAVI vs SAVR, SAPIEN 3 TAVI demonstrated out to 7 years12:


  • Sustained durability and performance
    • Low rates of bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF)*
      (6.9% TAVI, 7.3% SAVR; p = 0.78)
    • Low rates of aortic-valve reintervention
      (6.7% TAVI, 6.0% SAVR; p = 0.72)

  • Comparable to SAVR in other key outcomes, including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and quality of life

*BVF per VARC-3 consists of the following components: (1) irreversible stage 3 hemodynamic valve deterioration, (2) aortic-valve reintervention, (3) valve-related death.
A vital status (alive or dead) sweep was conducted to improve the completeness of follow-up.
