Structural heart delivery systems: AbbottRecent Research Landscape

Structural heart interventions require precise delivery and sealing of collapsible stents to prevent paravalvular leakage and ensure long-term leaflet durability.

What technical problems is Abbott addressing in Structural heart delivery systems?

Electromagnetic navigation signal interference

(85)evidences

Metallic interference and poor electrode-to-tissue coupling cause localization errors and incomplete cardiac mapping during electrophysiology procedures.

Prosthetic valve crimp profile

(189)evidences

Prosthetic valves often suffer from blood leaking around the stent frame or shifting position due to poor anchoring and sealing within the native annulus.

Catheter tip thermal bonding

(216)evidences

Inconsistent contact between catheter electrodes and moving cardiac tissue leads to ineffective energy delivery and inaccurate force measurements during structural heart procedures.
