Long-term outcomes of the mosaic aortic porcine bioprosthesis in Japan: Results from the Japan mosaic valve long-term multicenter study

Abstract

Background: This study retrospectively evaluated the long-term patient outcomes and durability of the Mosaic aortic porcine bioprosthesis in the Japan Mosaic valve long-term multicenter study. Methods and Results: We reviewed the records of 1,202 patients who underwent aortic valve replacement with the Mosaic bioprosthesis at 10 centers in Japan (1999–2014). Patient data were collected using Research Electronic Data Capture. Patient survival was determined by Kaplan-Meier methodology. Freedom from structural valve deterioration (SVD) and valve-related reoperation and death were determined by actuarial methods. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of the cohort was 76 (70–80) years. The median (IQR) follow-up period was 3.52 (1.71–5.35) years. The longest follow-up was 15.8 years. The 30-day mortality rate was 2.3%. The 12-year actuarial survival rate was 59.9±7.5%, and the freedom from valve-related death was 81.1±7.9%. The freedom from reoperation was 86.4±2.6% at 12 years. The freedom from SVD at 12 years was 93.5±2.9% for patients aged ≥65 years and 98.2±1.8% for those aged <65 years. The median (IQR) systolic pressure gradient was 17 (12–23) and 19 (12–25) mmHg at 1 and 10 years, respectively. The median (IQR) effective orifice area was 1.2 (1.1–1.5) and 1.1 (1–1.5) cm2 at 1 and 10 years, respectively. Conclusions: The Mosaic porcine bioprosthesis showed satisfactory long-term outcomes over 12 years.
