Dublin, may 18, 2021 /prnewswire/ -- medtronic plc (nyse:mdt), the global leader in medical technology, today announced the complete two-year outcomes from the landmark evolut low risk trial comparing the minimally invasive evolut™ transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) system to the gold standard of open-heart surgery in characteristically younger, healthier aortic stenosis patients. presented virtually today as a late-breaking clinical trial at the europcr 2021 e-course, results showed the evolut tavr platform was non inferior to surgery for the primary endpoint of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at two years (4.3% for tavr versus 6.3% for surgery; p< 0.0001 for non-inferiority), and trended the same or lower on all critical events, confirming the earlier bayesian statistical analysis presented at the american college of cardiology (acc) 68th annual scientific session in 2019.
