Mosaic™ mitral bioprosthesis
The Mosaic™ mitral bioprosthesis is a next-generation native porcine valve for mitral valve replacement.
Features
Built for a life. Time tested.
- Based on more than 50 years of Medtronic tissue-valve design expertise, the Mosaic™ mitral valve is a great option for surgeons seeking unsurpassed long-term durability, excellent hemodynamics, and a smooth implanting experience.1–3
- Durability
- Hemodynamics
- Geometry and reintervention
- Implantability
Durability
Published clinical experience demonstrates industry-leading long-term performance.1,3
- Features that may contribute to the Mosaic™ mitral valve’s durability are:
- Proprietary amino oleic acid (AOA™) anti-calcification tissue treatment with clinical use across a suite of devices in more than half a million patients for over 30 years†
- High-performance stent that allows for absorption of stress produced during the cardiac cycle4
- Physiologic fixation, our advanced tissue fixation process, to mitigate biomechanical failures and promote long-term valve durability by:
- Improving preservation of valve structure and leaflet function, allowing it to function similar to a native valve5,6
- Allowing leaflets to remain soft and flexible, which protects the tissue from cyclic fatigue5,6

AOA™ anti-calcification treatment
The Medtronic-patented AOA™ tissue treatment is designed to reduce calcification and protect the tissue.†
- AOA™ covalently bonds with free aldehydes and washes lipids away.7–9
- Large AOA™ molecules slow diffusion of calcium into tissue matrix.

Physiologic tissue fixation
- Leaflets float at net-zero pressure.
- Roots are pressurized at 40 mmHg with glutaraldehyde.
Hemodynamics
The Mosaic™ mitral valve was designed to allow for maximum blood flow. The creation of the valve — from the porcine leaflets and valve geometry (specifically stent height) to how the tissue is mounted in the frame — affects how optimally the blood flows in diastole, and how well the leaflets coapt in systole.
As reported in the Mosaic™ mitral valve instructions for use, hemodynamic results at one year2:
| Mosaic™ mitral valve size3 | 25 | 27 | 29 | 31 | 33 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean gradient (mm) (n = ) |
5.7 ± 1.7 (41) | 4.6 ± 2.1 (98) | 4.4 ± 1.8 (123) | 3.7 ± 1.4 (50) | 3.4 ± 1.8 (8) |
| Mean effective orifice area (cm2) (n = ) |
1.6 ± 0.4 (35) | 1.7 ± 0.5 (90) | 1.8 ± 0.5 (114) | 1.7 ± 0.5 (43) | 1.9 ± 0.5 (6) |
Geometry and reintervention
Designed to accommodate ventricular flow
The Mosaic™ mitral valve reflects the asymmetry of the native porcine valve, providing one wider leaflet spaced at 135 degrees. This largest leaflet of the Mosaic™ mitral valve is intended to align with the patient’s anterior mitral leaflet to accommodate ventricular flow.

Suitable for future interventions
Valve dimensions and geometry facilitate future valve-in-valve (ViV) procedures.
- Radiopaque stent post eyelets on the Mosaic™ mitral valve provide visible markers to help correctly position the transcatheter valve during ViV procedures.
- MR Conditional, nonmetallic frame mitigates risk of corrosion between surgical valve and transcatheter valve stent materials.
Implantability
The Cinch™ implant system capitalizes on the flexible stent and offers different features to facilitate valve implantation:
- Aids minimally invasive procedures through small incisions11
- Helps prevent suture looping11
- Designed to protect tissue from inadvertent damage and prevent entanglements with the sub-valvular apparatus
- Assists implantation with clear marking for proper orientation2
- Offers smooth needle penetration and suture placement with a pliable, conformable cuff12
Clinical evidence
Long-term outcomes of mitral valve replacements
Mosaic™ mitral valve versus other bovine pericardial mitral valves
This retrospective study compared the long-term outcomes of the Mosaic™ porcine mitral valve to other bovine pericardial mitral valves in 940 patients.1
Cumulative incidence of reoperation at 15 years (p < 0.001):
- 7.9% for Mosaic™ mitral valve
- 13.2% for other technologies on the market 1
Survival at 15 years (p = 0.67):
- 24.0% for Mosaic™ mitral valve
- 16.5% for other technologies on the market 1
Mosaic™ mitral valve
Other technologies on the market 1
On average, the time before reoperation for structural valve deterioration (SVD) was 4.3 years longer with the Mosaic™ porcine valve than other technologies on the market1.
Mosaic™ mitral valve versus other technologies on the market 2
This retrospective, single-center study analyzed long-term outcomes of 335 patients undergoing isolated mitral valve replacement.13
Freedom from reintervention at 10 years (p = 0.1):
- 79.1% for Mosaic™ mitral valve
- 62.2% for other technologies on the market 2
Freedom from definite (confirmed on reoperation) SVD (p = 1.00):
- 91.7% for Mosaic™ mitral valve group
- 89.4% for other technologies on the market 2

Cumulative incidence of reintervention with death as competing risk
“At 10 years after mitral valve replacement, the cumulative incidence of reintervention was twice as high in the other technologies on the market 2 group.”§

‡ SVD was defined, according to STS, as dysfunction or deterioration involving the operated valve, exclusive of infection or thrombosis, as determined by reoperation, autopsy, or clinical investigation. Mean follow-up times were significantly different (Mosaic™: 7.0 ± 4.8 versus Edwards: 6.0 ± 3.9, p = 0.002).
