Medtronic has received approval from the Europe’s CE Mark for its Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve developed for the congenital heart patients to treat pulmonary valve insufficiency. The new technique is one of its kind as it is non-surgical and there is no need to open the chest.
The physicians can deliver the Melody Valve via catheters into the cardiovascular system by using Ensemble Transcatheter Delivery System. It fends off the need for a open-heart surgery, prevent any risk of bleeding and allows earlier intervention.
