Coronary access

Lower-risk TAVI requires preserved future access1

Large, open-frame design secures access for future reinterventions.

To learn more, watch this video on unrestricted coronary access with the ACURATE neo2 Valve.

“ACURATE neo2’s open frame design means it’s easy to access the coronaries, which is crucial for younger, lower risk patients.”

– Prof. Matthias Götberg

Re-access with confidence

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) following TAVI is associated with a 4x higher PCR failure rate and 33% increased mortality rate.2

75%

Up to 75% of TAVI patients have coronary artery disease3

Predictable commissural alignment

Clearly defined commissural posts and a flexible, responsive delivery system secure best-in-class commissural alignment. In the COMALIGN Study, ACURATE neo2™ was the only valve to completely avoid severe/moderate commissural misalignment3.
