Hi WilliamP and redant...............I believe it 'a bidding war' has to be on the radar of any of the big Heart Valve Coys .. Why?:-
If my memory serves me OK (without checking facts) I believe Edwards relies upon some 60% (happy to be corrected) of its income re heart valve business. My theory is- if there is a Coy (AVR) that has a product -proven -but not yet FDA Stamped so far to be 'best' heart valve available (Cardios comments ?) , then that Coy Edwards - will, without doubt -- want to protect its biggest % income.
Again - memory -- I believe some time ago one of the big 'heart valve Coys' did takeover a Coy, for many $billions that had a product- not FDA stamped. Edwards ??
AVR's product has a 'proven record' (so far near 2 years now ?) - under some of the best Cardios on the planet. That must be a big plus in the eyes of say the big 3:-
J & J - Abbot- Edwards - ????
As I have said before - put yourself in the position of the CEO of any one of the 3 Coys? What would you do??...... keep waiting waiting -knowing that one will make a move sooner than later. The more AVR's heart valve gets wider publicity, heart valve problems increase- the bigger our value MUST get.
Also now we have, I believe a unique situation - A 'Valve in Valve' success, so far. Was I dreaming - a ViV -ViV? ?
Just my belief -- do your own research... I am just a cave dweller ?
