Safety and Effectiveness Results
Primary Endpoint
The composite rate of all-cause mortality, all stroke, and AI ≥ moderate at 30 days was 6.7% in the
SAPIEN 3 cohort and 15.6% in the SAPIEN cohort, as shown in Table 7. The resulting proportion
difference in the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT; [2]) was -6.9% (90% CI: [-13.3%, -0.5%]).
Since the upper limit of the CI was < 7.5%, the non–inferiority was met.
