Abstract
This follow-on article (see below) comparing the differences between the Edwards-Sapien valve (ESV) and the Medtronic CoreValve (MCV) discusses transcatheter valve technologies from the point of view of a world-renowned team of cardiac experts led by Dr Sanjeevan Pasupati from Waikato Hospital, New Zealand, which has deployed both the ESV and the MCV technology since 2008.
