The Aortic Valve is a device used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It is a mechanical or biological valve that is implanted in the aorta, the main artery of the body, to replace a diseased or damaged valve. The Aortic Valve market is a subset of the larger Cardiovascular Devices market, which includes a variety of devices used to diagnose, treat, and monitor cardiovascular diseases. Aortic Valve devices are used to treat aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve that can lead to heart failure. Aortic Valve devices can be divided into two main categories: mechanical valves and biological valves. Mechanical valves are made of metal and are designed to last for many years, while biological valves are made of animal tissue and are designed to last for a few years. Some of the major companies in the Aortic Valve market include Edwards Lifesciences, Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, and LivaNova. Show Less Read more
