An annuloplasty ring is a ring or band that is sewn at the base of the heart valve to provide additional support and reshape the valve. Annuloplasty rings can be manufactured of a variety of long-lasting materials, including metal, plastic, and cloth.
They are available in flexible, stiff, and semi-rigid configurations. They are covered in a cloth-like material such as polyester or Dacron. Annuloplasty rings come in a variety of sizes. The ring size is decided by the patient’s mitral valve measurements.
The annuloplasty ring serves as a substitute for the diseased valve and helps the heart valve function properly.
The Europe Annuloplasty Rings Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
Medtronic, Inc. announced the global launch and first clinical trial of the Tri-AdTM Semi-Flexible Tricuspid Annuloplasty Ring for the treatment of tricuspid valve dysfunction.
The ring is intended to adapt to the movement of a sick patient’s natural valve, assisting in the restoration of the valve to its normal size and form.
The Tri-Ad ring was recently cleared for use in the United States and Europe, adding to Medtronic’s surgical heart valve replacement product range.
Tricuspid dilatation is a degenerative illness that leads to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), which happens when the tricuspid valve leaflets fail to shut properly, allowing blood to flow in the opposite way.
Surgeons often prescribe surgical repair using an annuloplasty ring or band for patients with severe dilatation of the tricuspid annulus (or aperture) to give support and reduce stress on the native annulus, where the valve might be strained and leaking.
