In the NOTION-3 trial of percutaneous coronary intervention or conservative treatment in patients undergoing TAVI, PCI was associated with a lower risk of a composite of death, MI, or urgent revascularization at a median of 2 years. Full results: nej.md/3AH5WJo #ESCardio

ALT Panel A: A Kaplan–Meier plot and estimate for the primary end point, defined as a composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or urgent revascularization. Panels B–D: Secondary end-point data for the individual components of the primary end point, death from any cause, myocardial infarction, and urgent revascularization.
