Purpose : This study was conducted to compare long-term results including the durability after bovine pericardial and porcine bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement (MVR).
Methods : Three hundred nine patients who underwent MVR with Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT bovine pericardial valves (BMVR group, n = 241) or Hancock II porcine bioprosthesis (PMVR group, n = 68) were enrolled. Mean age at the operation was 65.8 ± 11.5 years and 213 (68.9%) were female patients. The mean clinical and echocardiographic follow-up durations were 81.4 ± 60.0 and 57.8 ± 53.3 months, respectively. Structural valve deterioration (SVD) was defined as prosthetic mitral valve regurgitation or stenosis of greater than moderate degree combined with a motion limitation, tear or perforation of prosthetic valve leaflet on follow-up echocardiography. Propensity score-adjusted multivariable analyses were performed.
Results : Thirty-day mortality rate was 6.4% (20 out of 309 patients). The SVD occurred in 50 patients (33 and 17 patients in the BMVR and PMVR groups, respectively). Five-, 10- and 15-year freedom rates from SVD were 95.2%, 69.4% and 24.6%, respectively, in the BMVR group and 95.7%, 72.1% and 27.6%, respectively, in the PMVR group. Cumulative incidences of SVD in the BMVR and PMVR groups were not different in competing risk analysis (p = 0.125). Other clinical outcomes including overall survival and freedom rates from cardiac death and MVRE were not statistically different between the 2 groups in propensity score-adjusted multivariable analyses.
Conclusion : The long-term clinical outcomes including SVD were not different between the BMVR and PMVR groups during 15 year-follow up after MVR.
