flag FDA approves Edwards' SAPIEN M3 for severe mitral regurgitation in high-risk patients.

flag The FDA has approved Edwards Lifesciences’ SAPIEN M3 Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement System as the first transseptal therapy for treating symptomatic moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation in patients ineligible for surgery or edge-to-edge repair. flag It’s also approved for mitral valve dysfunction due to calcification. flag The procedure uses a catheter via the femoral vein and a 29F steerable sheath. flag One-year data from the ENCIRCLE trial showed 95.7% of 299 patients had MR reduced to mild or less, with improved symptoms and quality of life. flag The system, built on Edwards’ SAPIEN platform, received CE Mark in April 2025 and expands treatment options for complex mitral valve disease.
