A Prospective, Single Arm, Multi-Center Study Evaluating the Clinical Outcomes of Ventral Hernias Treated with OviTex<sup>®</sup> 1S Permanent Reinforced Tissue Matrix: The BRAVO Study 12-Month Analysis

Background: Conflicting results from previous studies have led to dissent over whether surgical mesh is safe and effective in ventral hernia repair. A newer class of mesh known as a reinforced tissue matrix, combining a biologic scaffold and minimal polymer reinforcement, offers promise in reducing...

A newer class of mesh known as a reinforced tissue matrix, combining a biologic scaffold and minimal polymer reinforcement, offers promise in reducing inflammatory response and increasing abdominal wall support. This study sought to assess the clinical utility of a reinforced tissue matrix (OviTex) in ventral hernia repair 12 months after implantation. Methods: This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center study to evaluate the clinical performance of OviTex<sup>®</sup> 1S Permanent (OviTex) in the repair of primary or recurrent ventral hernias (VH) in consecutive patients (ClinicalTrials.gov/NCT03074474). The rate of surgical site occurrences (SSOs) was evaluated 90 days post-surgery as the primary endpoint. Hernia recurrence and the incidence of postoperative events were evaluated between three and 12 months as secondary endpoints. The incidence of other complications and patient-reported outcomes were also recorded. Results: Ninety-two (92) patients were enrolled in the study, of whom seventy-six (76) reached the 12-month follow-up. All patients were at least 18 years of age with a BMI of <40 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. Hernia defects were <20 × 20 cm, classified as class I–III according to the CDC wound classification system. Of the 76 patients who reached 12-month follow-up, twenty-six (34%) had previous VH repairs and thirteen (17%) had previous surgical infection. Sixty (79%) had factors known to increase the risk of recurrence. Twenty patients (26%) experienced SSOs, with ten (13%) requiring procedural intervention. Two of the 75 patients (2.7%) experienced a recurrence. Conclusions: The low rate of hernia recurrence and SSOs requiring intervention illustrates the potential that reinforced tissue matrices, and OviTex 1S, in particular, have to improve outcomes in VH repairs. Follow-up to 24 months is ongoing.George DeNotoEugene P. CeppaSalvatore J.
