Patient numbers are from the per-protocol analysis at baseline.


CENTURY II included pre-specified assessment of complex subgroups

Bifurcation: clinical evidence from CENTURY II

  • There were no significant differences in baseline patient characteristics or bifurcation lesion characteristics between the two groups
  • TLF up to 5 years was 7.4% with Ultimaster, compared with 11.1% with Xience (p=0.37)
  • Cardiac death at 5-year follow up was significantly lower in the Ultimaster group than in the Xience group (0.0% vs 5.1%; p=0.03)

TLF, target lesion failure.

Multivessel disease: clinical evidence from CENTURY II

  • There were no significant differences in baseline patient characteristics, lesion characteristics, or procedural characteristics between the two groups
  • 69.8% of procedures that used Ultimaster were performed using transradial access, and the overall procedure success rate was 97.8%
  • At 5 years, there was a trend towards better clinical outcomes with Ultimaster than with Xience (statistical significance not met)
  • Any death: 9.3% vs 10.8% (p=0.60)
  • Any MI: 3.1% vs 5.6% (p=0.19)
  • Stent thrombosis: 0.9% vs 1.7% (p=0.43)
