Issue 15

In this 15th edition of The RESILIA Tissue Insider, we open 2026 by highlighting key clinical milestones shaping the year ahead for the RESILIA tissue portfolio. This issue explores early European experience with the KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit, shares important clinical trial updates, and looks ahead to a major long term durability milestone for RESILIA tissue technology.

  • Exclusive interview with Prof. Dr. Suwalski on the first European publication reporting minimally invasive use of the KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit
  • Highlights from the 62nd STS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, featuring the 1 year results of the MOMENTIS clinical trial and early performance insights for the MITRIS RESILIA valve
  • Published 8 year COMMENCE trial outcomes, including long term performance and comparison versus non RESILIA tissue valves

As we begin 2026, this edition reflects the continued momentum of the RESILIA tissue portfolio across innovation, clinical experience, and long term evidence generation. From growing European adoption of the KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit and early insights into minimally invasive use, to new clinical trial readouts for MITRIS RESILIA valves, this issue underscores the breadth and depth of ongoing clinical engagement. We also look ahead to a pivotal milestone with the upcoming 10 year COMMENCE trial data, while revisiting the 8 year outcomes to provide important context as the evidence base for RESILIA tissue technology continues to mature.
