$AntiCa - Meril's proprietary anti-calcification treatment technology. All Myval THV sizes are currently CE approved
V-shaped hinges on hexagonal frame fold, generating the dense bands on fluoroscopy
Vertical connectors '|' give rise to light bands
Alternating V-folds & vertical connectors give Myval THV a unique 'Zebra Crossing' appearance on fluoroscopy for ease of positioning
Myval THV is recommended to be crimped over Navigator THV Balloon Delivery System prior to insertion within patient's vasculature.
Elimination of THV frame parallax promptly ensures visualisation of characteristic dark-light bands
Shallow deployment of Myval THV with least engagement within LVOT is possible.
Optimal orthotopic anchorage of Myval THV with marginal LVOT foot-print without risk of THV migration.
Minimal infra-annular depth <=3.50mm avoids conduction system interference (thus minimizing the need of new permanent pacemaker dependency).
