    via Reports of balloons bursting during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) implantation procedures prompted Edwards Lifesciences to recall 1,585 Sapien 3 Ultra delivery systems from the U.S. market. The company initiated the recall in July but FDA just issued the associated safety alert on Thursday.
