The EvRos-MI (ЕвРос-МИ) is a polymeric heart valve prosthesis manufactured by MedInzh Scientific Production Enterprise (ЗАО НПП «МедИнж»), a Russian developer and producer of implantable medical devices based in Penza. The prosthesis is designed specifically for replacement of a diseased pulmonary artery valve in adult cardiovascular surgery.
Built entirely from porous polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), it offers a fully synthetic alternative to pulmonary valves sourced from xenograft or allograft tissue, eliminating donor-tissue dependency while delivering long-term structural stability. The device consists of two main elements: a polymeric conduit — fabricated as a segment of vascular prosthesis — and a valve assembly that includes closing elements and prominences engineered to replicate the natural sinuses of Valsalva.
The thin, supple leaflets are designed to open and close smoothly under the characteristically low differential pressures of the right-heart circuit. The EvRos-MI features a 27 mm seating diameter suited to adult anatomy and is fully compatible with MRI, enabling unrestricted post-operative diagnostic imaging.
Its principal clinical advantage is high resistance to both calcification and ingrowth of surrounding tissue into the outer conduit surface — the two leading mechanisms of structural failure in biological valve substitutes.
