In Medtronic's structural heart business, the company maintained its market share in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), growing in the mid-teens in the third quarter.

"Our outlook assumes continued procedure volume recovery through March and April and we expect to be back to pre-COVID levels in most of our markets before the end of the fourth quarter," Parkhill added. CFO Karen Parkhill said that while the company is still seeing procedure volumes in the first few weeks of February curbed by omicron, they are beginning to improve. Looking ahead, Medtronic expects fourth-quarter organic revenue growth of approximately 5.5%, which is in line with current Wall Street consensus.Still, the CEO acknowledged that inflation, supply chain challenges and healthcare staffing shortages "will linger." 28, 2022, was slowed by the omicron variant surge in January, particularly in the U.S. Martha said the COVID-19 resurgence not only affected procedure volumes "but also created acute periods of worker absenteeism with our customers, suppliers and in our own operations and field teams." However, with coronavirus cases declining, Martha noted that available hospital and ICU capacity is increasing, and procedure volumes are picking up.
