The Federal Trade Commission issued an administrative complaint to block medical device supplier Edwards Lifesciences Corp.'s (Edwards) proposed acquisition of JenaValve Technology, Inc. (JenaValve) due to concerns that the acquisition would limit patient access to lifesaving medical devices used to treat a potentially fatal heart condition. On January 9, 2026, after a six-day trial, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted the FTC's request for a preliminary injunction to temporarily prevent Edwards from acquiring JenaValve.
