St. Jude Medical is releasing in the U.S. its new Trifecta GT aortic surgical valve, a month since the European launch of the product. The new Trifecta valve with Glide Technology offers a new deployment mechanism that makes placement and deployment easier in patients with more challenging anatomy.
The valve itself retains the same hemodynamic properties compared to the original Trifecta and so should lead to similar outcomes for patients for whom placement may have been too difficult otherwise.
