For patients, a different way forward
Surgical heart valves with RESILIA tissue offer active patients a way to think differently about life after surgery. Choosing a RESILIA tissue valve means a life of possibility: an active life.
- A life free from ongoing anticoagulant therapy and the associated dietary and lifestyle restrictions that come with mechanical valves
- A life with the potential to avoid future open heart surgery
- A life of confidence in what's to come
Evidence of RESILIA tissue performance
A key challenge with pericardial tissue is structural valve deterioration (SVD), much of which is due to calcium buildup. RESILIA tissue is transformed to resist calcification differently.

For surgeons, a difference that offers more options
For patients referred for surgical valve replacement, there are now three options: mechanical valves, conventional tissue valves or RESILIA tissue valves. RESILIA tissue gives surgeons the freedom to offer a resilient tissue alternative that brings the quality-of-life benefits of tissue valves to patients.
Together, charting the future of surgical valves
With RESILIA tissue, patients and surgeons alike gain the freedom that comes with peace of mind. It’s knowing that Edwards Lifesciences has a proven commitment to ongoing innovation in surgical structural heart solutions, to advance the state of the art and put better outcomes within reach.
Today’s RESILIA tissue portfolio is the culmination of years of careful, deliberate development in collaboration with cardiac surgeons, innovating while building on proven technology. It represents the best of creative scientific minds coming together to address unmet needs and satisfy patient demands for better surgical options.
