Sorin Bicarbon: 17 years of clinical use In press IM-00213/A
Clinical Evaluation of the Sorin Bicarbon Prosthesis at 17-year Follow-up - Celiento M, Filaferro L, Milano A, Anastasio G, Ferrari G, Bortolotti U. - J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2013 – in press Study design A single center retrospective evaluation of patients receiving a Sorin Bicarbon Prosthesis (SBP) at our institution from 1994 to 2000 was performed. Patients who had undergone isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) or isolated mitral valve replacement (MVR) were considered. Study objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term results of aortic valve replacement (AVR) and mitral valve replacement (MVT) with the Sorin Bicarbon prosthesis. Italy

Sorin Bicarbon vs SJM Adverse events AVR group MVR group
TAKE HOME MESSAGES At 17 years of clinical follow up Sorin Bicarbon MHVs have shown excellent results in terms of clinical improvement and freedom from complications: High freedom from valve-related deaths in both AVR (90%) and MVR (92%) groups. Good actuarial survival (50% in AVR and 62% in MVR groups). High freedom from adverse events (TE, BE and Endocarditis) and freedom from reoperation. Low rate of valve-related complications. No cases of structural valve deterioration.
TAKE HOME MESSAGES When comparing results of the present study with competition, Sorin Bicarbon shows: The highest survival rate versus St Jude Medical and in line with other competitors. The highest freedom from valve-related mortality versus St Jude Medical and in line with other competitors. The highest freedom from reoperation among ALL competitors. Better adverse events rates versus St Jude Medical (Bleeding, ThromboEmbolism and Thrombosis).
