India shines at London Valves 2024: Meril’s groundbreaking leap in heart valve innovation ‘Myval Octapro THV’ showcased at GISE 2024 and PCR London Valves

Published

on

VAPI, India, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Meril Life Sciences, a leading global med-tech company specializing in cardiovascular and structural heart solutions, marked a significant milestone with the launch of its Myval Octapro Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) at GISE 2024 (National Congress of the Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology) and PCR London Valves 2024. These esteemed scientific events provided an ideal platform for Meril to showcase its commitment to advancing structural heart care.

The Myval THV series, known for its innovative contributions to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures, continues to set new benchmarks with the Myval Octapro THV. This latest iteration introduces low frame foreshortening, enhancing operator control and enabling precise deployment for improved procedural predictability. Additionally, its comprehensive size matrix, which includes conventional, intermediate, and extra-large valve sizes, ensures optimal valve selection tailored to diverse patient anatomies.

Speaking on this achievement, Sanjeev Bhatt, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy at Meril Life Sciences, stated: “The positive reception of the Myval Octapro THV at these global platforms underscores our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions for severe aortic stenosis. We are proud to collaborate with clinicians worldwide in advancing TAVR technology and improving patient outcomes through innovation.”

At PCR London Valves 2024, Meril presented key findings from the LANDMARK trial subset analysis and comparative studies, further establishing the safety and efficacy of the Myval Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) series. Published in EuroIntervention Journal, the findings confirmed the Myval THV’s non-inferiority to both Sapien and Evolut valve series at 30 days post-implantation, solidifying its position as a reliable solution for structural heart interventions.

The results highlighted comparable composite safety and effectiveness outcomes between Myval and Sapien (24.7% vs. 24.1%), with Myval demonstrating a lower rate of permanent pacemaker implantation (15.0% vs. 17.3%) and superior hemodynamic performance. Similarly, the Myval THV series performed on par with Evolut in composite endpoints (24.7% vs. 30%), while showing advantages in reducing pacemaker implantation rates and moderate/severe valve regurgitation. Effective orifice areas were also comparable between 26 and 29 mm of Myval THV series and Evolut THV series, underscoring its strong performance in key clinical measures.

The conference also featured the unveiling of the COMPARE-TAVI trial results. Presented by Prof. Henrik Nissen on behalf of the COMPARE-TAVI investigators, this first-of-its-kind randomized controlled trial directly compared the Myval THV series with the Sapien THV series in a real-world, all-comers population.

Key Findings from the COMPARE-TAVI Trial:

Non-Inferiority Demonstrated: The Myval THV series met the non-inferiority criteria for the composite primary endpoint (death, stroke, moderate/severe aortic regurgitation, and valve deterioration) at one year, with comparable rates to the Sapien THV series (13.8% vs. 13.0%, p = 0.02).Reduced Patient-Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM): Myval THV exhibited a significantly lower incidence of PPM compared to the Sapien series (17.5% vs. 28.6%), a critical factor for long-term valve performance and patient outcomes.

Meril acknowledges the invaluable contributions of clinicians, partners, and patients in achieving this milestone. With the launch of the Myval Octapro THV, Meril continues its mission of improving lives through pioneering structural heart care solutions.

JEGI CLARITY Notes Increased M&A Activity within Digital Marketing Services

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — M&A activity in digital marketing services is accelerating, as anticipated by JEGI CLARITY in July. Over the past two quarters, deal volume exceeded the quarterly average of 300 transactions over the last 7 years.

Notable deals, such as ECI’s acquisition of Croud, highlight this trend. Looking ahead, we expect 2024 M&A levels to align with 2023, following the record-breaking momentum of 2021 and 2022.

PRIVATE EQUITY HAS AN ACTIVE ROLE IN DRIVING SECTOR CONSOLIDATION
PE represented 32% of YTD M&A activity in digital marketing services. Key attractions for investors include the market’s impressive growth prospects – with the market projected to increase from £4.3bn in 2023 to £14bn by 2032 (CAGR of 14%).

SCALE AND EXPOSURE TO TIER 1 MARKETS ARE KEY VALUE DRIVERS IN DIGITAL MARKETING SERVICES M&A
Valuations are influenced by several factors:

Differentiated Proposition: Agencies with scalable, Tech and AI-driven, or specialized services command higher valuations.Scale: Our data suggests that size matters when it comes to valuation, with larger assets, EBITDA over £12.5m, trading at a median multiple of 16.5x, while smaller assets, EBITDA between £4m and £7.5m, trade at a median of 10.8x.U.S. Revenue Exposure: Higher U.S. revenue draws N. American PE interest (directionally >25% of revenues), creating competitive tension, in turn driving valuations.Strong Financial KPIs: attractive revenue growth, healthy margins, and strong client retention are critical for driving valuation multiples.Evidence of Integration in Buy-and-Build: For companies following a buy-and-build strategy, successful integration of acquisitions is a key value driver.

M&A GROWTH TO BE DRIVEN BY ECONOMIC RECOVERY, PE EXIT AND DEMAND FOR SPECIALIST SKILLS
PE funds will likely continue deploying capital and exits will accelerate considering current hold periods. On the trade side, large agencies, driven by client demand, are likely to continue acquiring digital capabilities that are difficult to build internally.

Over the next 18 months, several PE-backed digital marketing groups, held for over four years, will likely come to market. We foresee consolidation among large PE-backed platforms across Europe, as agencies look to broaden geographic reach.
