ABSTRACT: Objectives
Long-term durability of bioprosthetic valves is predominantly limited by structural valve deterioration. RESILIA™ tissue has exhibited reduced calcification in pre-clinical and early clinical studies. This study evaluated the 5-year clinical and haemodynamic outcomes of an aortic valve with this tissue.Methods
This was a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm study of 133 patients implanted with a RESILIA aortic bioprosthesis between July 2011 and February 2013 at 2 sites in Poland. Clinical outcomes and haemodynamic performance were assessed annually for 5?years post-implant. Safety events were adjudicated by a Clinical Events Committee and echocardiographic data were assessed by an independent core laboratory.Results
Mean patient age was 65.3?±?13.5?years, with 34 patients (25.6%) ?60. The mean follow-up was 4.2?±?1.5?years. Early (?30?days) and late (>30?days) all-cause mortality were 2.3% (N?=?3) and 3.2%/late patients-years (N?=?18) respectively. Early events included thromboembolism in 3 patients (2.3%). Late valve-related events included endocarditis in 1 patient, which led to explant, and valve thrombosis in another patient. There were no events of structural valve deterioration throughout the study. At 5?years, mean gradient was 14.8?±?7.6?mmHg and effective orifice area was 1.4?±?0.5 cm2, a marked improvement over baseline values. All New York Heart Association class III patients and most class II patients at baseline had improved classifications at 5?years.Conclusions
The bioprosthesis with RESILIA tissue demonstrated a good safety profile with excellent haemodynamic performance over 5?years of follow-up. These encouraging outcomes warrant additional investigation of this novel tissue.Clinical trial registration number
