Data differences depicted between these trials may not be directly comparable, statistically significant, or clinically meaningful due to differences in trial protocols, endpoints, and/or patient populations.

**Pressure gradients approximated through Epic™ Aortic summary of safety and effectiveness data (SSED) matched with stent size equivalencies for the Epic™ Supra. Per Abbott Internal engineering specifications, a 19 mm Epic™ Supra has the same stent size as a 21 mm Epic™ Aortic and this relationship continues across all Epic™ Supra valve sizes.
