Abbott has been investing in structural heart products and recently entered the left atrial appendage closure market.
Early results from an investigational clinical trial on the Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve were favorable. If the pivotal trial results are favorable, this could give a boost to Abbott's structural heart unit.
