Aortic Insufficiency by Visit –
SAPIEN 3 Valve (PIIS3HR VI Population) vs. SAPIEN Valve
The proportion of patients with AI ≥ moderate at 30 days was 3.0% in the SAPIEN 3 cohort and 14.3% in
the SAPIEN cohort, which were found to be statistically significantly different (p=0.0051; Table 9).

The rate of major vascular complications at 30 days post implantation is shown in Figure 4. The rate was
5.0% for the SAPIEN 3 cohort and 10.1% for the SAPIEN cohort, which were found to be not statistically
significantly different (p=0.0578; Table 10).
