Edwards Resilia Tissue Aortic Valve Shows Favorable Safety And Efficacy At Five Years
WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Edwards Lifesciences (EW) bioprosthetic surgical aortic valve with its RESILIA tissue platform showed favorable safety and hemodynamic performance through a median of five years follow-up, as per new data from the COMMENCE clinical trial.
There were no incidences of structural valve deterioration (SVD) at the five-year review mark, a key safety outcome. SVD can be caused by a buildup of calcium on the valve s tissue or by other damage that impacts long-term durability of the valve.
RESILIA tissue is specially formulated using a proprietary integrity-preservation technology that may eliminate a key factor in calcification leading to valve deterioration.
