EU Feasibility Study: Results
Explore the clinical data

The RESILIA tissue valve demonstrated a good safety profile and excellent hemodynamic performance over 5 years of follow-up.

Preclinical Study: Pannus Formation Animal Studies

Results of 2 animal studies

Two independent studies, a 5-month study and an 8-month study, using a juvenile sheep model of mitral valve replacement with bovine pericardial tissue.2

Five-month study results

1.44 ± 1.52 mm²

pannus growth vs 2.61 ± 2.15 mm2

Eight-month study results

0.095 ± 0.049 mm²

pannus growth vs 0.134 ± 0.066 mm2

RESILIA tissue valves were associated with reduced pannus formation vs control valves, demonstrating the potential to improve long-term outcomes for patients.

Preclinical Study: Juvenile Sheep Study

Results

Forty-five juvenile sheep were randomized to assess an advanced tissue preservation technology. Of these, 31 survived for treatment evaluation (17 RESILIA tissue, 14 control valves with XenoLogiX treatment). Echocardiography at 1 week showed normal valve function in both groups. At 8 months, cardiac output increased significantly to the same extent in both groups (vs baseline; P <.01). The mean transvalvular pressure gradient also increased, but significantly more in the control group compared with the test group (P=.03).3

This novel tissue preservation technology, when applied to the PERIMOUNT mitral valve, significantly improved hemodynamic and anti-calcification properties vs the standard PERIMOUNT valve.
