MINNEAPOLIS and BRISBANE, Australia, Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (Anteris or the Company) (NASDAQ: AVR, ASX: AVR) today released 30-day clinical outcomes for the DurAVR^® THV in one hundred severe aortic stenosis patients with small aortic annuli (aortic annulus area 404 ± 37mm²). The DurAVR^® THV demonstrated single digit mean gradients, large effective orifice areas (EOAs), no moderate or severe paravalvular leaks and no valve related mortality, with 97% freedom from moderate or severe prosthesis-patient mismatch^* (PPM) in a cohort of small annuli patients similar to the one reported in the SMART Trial¹.

The late-breaking science was presented by Prof. Dr. Ole De Backer at the PCR London Valves conference in London, United Kingdom with simultaneous publication online in EuroIntervention - ‘Thirty-day outcomes of a novel biomimetic balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve in patients with small aortic annuli’ (DOI: 10.4244/EIJ-D-25-01106).

30-day Results Highlights for 100 DurAVR^® THV Patients

• DurAVR^® THV delivered a favorable hemodynamic profile with a large EOA of 2.2 ± 0.3 cm² and a single digit mean pressure gradient (MPG) of 8.2 ± 3.1 mmHg. 
  
• At 30-days, clinical safety outcomes were positive with no valve related mortality and no moderate or severe paravalvular leak (PVL).
  
• Prosthesis-patient mismatch was just 3.0% compared with 11.2% to 35.3%¹ for current commercial devices, highlighting a meaningful reduction in a key predictor of valve failure and disease progression.
  
• A technical success rate^** of 100% was achieved in the last 50 consecutive patient implants.
  

“The DurAVR^® THV demonstrated high rates of technical and device success with encouraging 30-day hemodynamic outcomes, including very low PPM in small annuli patients. These results reflect a unique balance of balloon-expandable benefits characterised by high device success and low pacemaker rates, combined with a hemodynamic profile typically associated with self-expanding platforms,” said Prof. Dr De Backer, The Heart Centre, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.

“When PPM occurs, patients essentially exchange one obstruction for another. Moderate to severe PPM is independently associated with reduced survival and increased risk of structural valve deterioration^2,3. Achieving 97% freedom from moderate or severe PPM is clinically relevant, particularly in small annuli patients where the risk of PPM is amplified,” said Chris Meduri, M.D., Anteris Chief Medical Officer.

This pooled analysis of 100 patients derived from the ongoing EMBARK study and early feasibility studies (EFS) conducted in the United States and Europe, consists of patients with small aortic annuli (SAA) treated with the Small size DurAVR^® THV.

“When we look at the strength of the 30-day outcomes together with the 1-year results presented at TCT, we see a consistent clinical profile that serves as a potential proxy for the recently initiated PARADIGM Trial. This pooled analysis of 100 patients represents approximately 20% of the planned DurAVR^® enrolment for the all-comers randomized cohort of PARADIGM. This consistency across earlier and longer-term patient outcomes reinforces our confidence in DurAVR^®’s potential as we advance this life-saving technology toward anticipated commercialization,” said Vice Chairman and CEO, Wayne Paterson.

The global PARADIGM Trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT07194265) is a prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) which will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR^® THV compared to commercially available transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs) in the treatment of severe aortic stenosis.

^{*Prosthesis‐patient mismatch (PPM) happens when a prosthetic valve, after being implanted, doesn't have a large enough opening (EOA) to accommodate the patient's blood flow needs, based on their body size. The result is higher than expected gradients. PPM affects a significant proportion of transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR) patients, particularly patients with a small aortic annulus and has been associated with impaired long-term survival following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).}
