Values are % per person-year (events/total person-years) unless otherwise indicated.

*

Unadjusted HRs and p values from Cox PH model; source study was included in the model as a stratification term.

See Table 3 for the data included in as-treated analyses. Data for procedural complications were abstracted from the original study publications (see Appendix) and not available for as-treated analysis.

Excludes data from the CLOSURE trial.
