What the company does

Edwards Lifesciences dominates transcatheter heart valves: devices that replace a heart valve through an artery, without opening the chest. It turned major surgery into a one-day procedure and built formidable leadership on that revolution.

What will shape its future

  • Expanding indications: ever more patients and pathologies qualify for the catheter.
  • Its bet on mitral and tricuspid valves, the next clinical frontier.
  • Competition from Medtronic and Abbott in an excellent-margin market.
