Edwards Lifesciences Corp. Wednesday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its Konect Resilia aortic valved conduit for complex aortic-valve surgeries.

The Irvine, Calif., company said the product is the first ready-to-implant solution for bio-Bentall procedures, which involve replacement of a patient's aortic valve, aortic root and the ascending aorta.

Edwards said the device can streamline treatment for patients requiring the complex and technical surgery, noting that up to 30% of Bentall procedures are performed in an emergency setting.
