Background: The Mosaic porcine bioprosthesis (Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, Minn) was approved in 2000 by the US Food and Drug Administration. Clinical performance was evaluated in 6 centers.
Methods: From 1994 to 2000, 797 patients (mean age 69 years) had aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 232 (mean 67 years) had mitral valve replacement (MVR). Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting was performed with aortic valve replacement (45.4%) and mitral valve replacement (43.5%). Mean follow-ups were 7.5 years for aortic position and 7.3 years for mitral position.
Results: Early mortalities were 2.8% for AVR and 3.0% for MVR. Late mortalities were 4.2%/patient-year for AVR and 5.1%/patient-year for MVR. Overall 12-year survivals were 55.8% ± 3.7% for AVR and 43.9% ± 7.4% for MVR. Twelve-year freedoms from valve-related mortality were 87.1% ± 3.1% for AVR and 82.5% ± 7.7% for MVR. Twelve-year freedoms from reoperation were 84.0% ± 3.3% for AVR and 82.5% ± 7.5% for MVR. Freedoms from structural valve deterioration (SVD) by explant reoperation at 12 years for AVR were 93.3% ± 2.6% for patients at least 60 years old and 75.9% ± 9.3% for patients younger than 60 years. Freedoms from SVD by explant reoperation at 10 years for MVR were 95.3% ± 7.8% for patients at least 70 years old and 84.0% ± 9.3% for patients younger than 70 years. Hemodynamic performance data at 1 year for AVR (sizes 21-27 mm) were mean systolic gradient range 13.7 ± 4.8 to 10.3 ± 3.2 mm Hg and effective orifice area range 1.5 ± 0.3 to 2.5 ± 0.4 cm(2). For MVR (sizes 25-31 mm), data were mean diastolic gradient range 6.7 ± 1.7 to 3.7 ± 0.9 mm Hg and effective orifice area range 1.9 ± 0.3 to 2.4 ± 0.6 cm(2).
Conclusions: Overall performance of Mosaic porcine bioprosthesis to 12 years is satisfactory. Freedoms from SVD by explant reoperation were most satisfactory for aortic position in patients at least 60 years old and mitral position in patients at least 70 years old. Overall actuarial freedom from SVD by explant reoperation is encouraging for patients with MVR.

The need for a permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation after surgical aortic valve implantation (SAVR) is a recognized postoperative complication, with potentially long-term reduced survival. From 1987 to 2017, 2500 consecutive patients underwent SAVR with a biological valve with or without concomitant procedures such as CABG or mitral valve repair. Mechanical valves or valves in another position were excluded.

Bioprosthetic aortic valve degeneration (BAVD) is a significant clinical concern following both transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). The increasing use of bioprosthetic valves in aortic valve replacement in younger patients and the subsequent rise in cases of BAVD are acknowledged in this review which aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the incidence, diagnosis, predictors, and management of BAVD. Based on a thorough review of the existing literature, this article provides an updated overview of the biological mechanisms underlying valve degeneration, including calcification, structural deterioration, and inflammatory processes and addresses the various risk factors contributing to BAVD, such as patient demographics, comorbidities, and procedural variables.

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a critical valvular heart disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality if not managed promptly. Previous studies have highlighted the "weekend effect", where the day of admission impacts outcomes in various cardiac conditions. This study evaluates the impact of weekend versus weekday admissions on outcomes in patients admitted with acutely decompensated aortic stenosis.

Background: Varying rates of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) have been reported early after transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) with the Harmony valve, but data regarding rhythm outcomes beyond hospital discharge are limited. This study aims to characterize ventricular arrhythmias after Harmony TPVR from implant through mid-term follow-up.
Methods: Ventricular arrhythmia data from postimplant telemetry and follow-up extended rhythm monitoring (ERM) were analyzed after Harmony TPVR.
