Accountability of the S3OUS Cohort
Patients were treated at 14 investigational sites. Note that the intermediate risk patients enrolled in the
S3OUS study were excluded from the analysis presented herein. The database included 102 “all treated”
(AT) inoperable and high surgical risk patients. “All treated” population is defined to include all patients
who were enrolled in the trial and for whom the study valve implantation procedures were started (i.e., the
anesthesia was started).
One patient was excluded from the VI population. This patient experienced an aortic root rupture caused
by displacement of a large lump of calcium with sharp edges through the native aortic annulus following
balloon expansion of the SAPIEN 3 valve. The patient was subsequently converted to SAVR. After the
patient was weaned off cardio-pulmonary bypass, bleeding in the region of the dorsal root occurred, and
the patient died on the operating table.
A total of 56 patients were successfully implanted with a SAPIEN 3 valve via the transfemoral access
route, and 45 via the transapical/transaortic access route, as shown in Table 13.

All Treated (AT) Population consists of all patients who were enrolled in the trial and for whom the study

Valve Implant (VI) Population consists of all enrolled patients who received a SAPIEN 3 valve, and
retained the valve upon leaving the catheterization laboratory/hybrid suite.
