Table 4.
Adverse events analysis after valve replacement with Bovine Pericardium Organic Valvular Bioprosthesis (BVP, Braile Biomédica®).
| Adverse event | AVR (2 × OPC)(c) | AVR(a,b) (% per patient-year) | MVR (2 × OPC)(c) | MVR(a,b) (% per patient-year) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thromboembolism | 3.0 | 0.0 | 2.6 | 0.0 |
| Valve thrombosis | 0.08 | 0.22 | 0.06 | 0.0 |
| Major hemorrhage | 1.2 | 0.22 | 1.4 | 0.0 |
| Major paravalvular leak | 0.6 | 0.0 | 0.4 | 0.0 |
| Endocarditis | 1.0 | 0.68 | 0.8 | 0.72 |
AVR=aortic valve replacement; LPY=late patient-year; MVR=mitral valve replacement; OPC=objective performance criteria
Late linearized event rate calculated by the number of events/LPY expressed as a percentage
LPY is calculated from post-implant day 31 until the last day of contact
OPC for tissue valves, as described in Table J.1 of EN-International Organization for Standardization 5840-2:2015, Annex J[7]
