3 ABSTRACT This report provides a current summary of long-term clinical experience for the Endologix studies for endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair with the Endologix Powerlink and AFX stent graft systems. Five US clinical studies involving 726 patients have been performed and results submitted to the US FDA to support marketing approvals. This includes the Infrarenal Bifurcated study, Suprarenal Bifurcated study, XL Aortic Extension study, Suprarenal Aortic Extension study, and the PEVAR Trial. In addition, post-marketing information is included regarding worldwide commercial experience, trends, and new or improved devices since the original FDA approval. In the five-year follow-up of the Bifurcated studies, both test and open surgical control patients were evaluated. Primary endpoint follow-up for patients enrolled in all five studies was completed and approved by the US FDA. The Kaplan-Meier five-year estimates in the Infrarenal Test, Suprarenal Test, and Surgical Control groups, respectively, are: 98%, 98%, and 94% (freedom from aneurysm-related mortality); 77%, 77%, and 73% (freedom from all-cause mortality); and 47%, 53%, and 58% (freedom from major adverse events). The XL and Suprarenal aortic extension devices were approved based upon pivotal study endpoint results of the prospective multi-center studies in which all patients received the bifurcated device via anatomical fixation at the aortoiliac bifurcation, and either the XL aortic extension or suprarenal aortic extension placed proximally to achieve seal. At one year, freedom from aneurysm-related mortality, conversion to open repair, and migration in both studies was 100%. Five-year follow-up for patients enrolled in the XL and Suprarenal Aortic Extension studies is complete. The PEVAR Trial is the first multicenter, prospective, randomized trial of percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair, and used the Endologix stent graft device for the endovascular repair. Femoral artery access was obtained using totally percutaneous techniques with suture-mediated closure devices, or using standard femoral exposure. The 1-month Treatment Success primary endpoint results of this trial demonstrated non-inferiority of PEVAR (facilitated with the Abbott Vascular, Inc. ProGlide device) in comparison to EVAR with standard femoral exposure. Final six-month follow-up for patients enrolled in the PEVAR Trial is complete. In summary, Core Laboratory evaluations of CT scans and x-rays have revealed no aneurysm rupture, stent fracture, or graft holes in any subject enrolled in the clinical studies of AAA repair with the Endologix Stent Graft Systems. Limited device migration has been observed, and endoleaks have been primarily identified as Type II, with a low incidence of Type I proximal or distal endoleak. Among all test patients who received the bifurcated device, 100% freedom from aneurysm-related mortality is observed. Moreover, a progressive reduction in mean aneurysm sac diameter is observed at each completed follow-up interval, with the large majority of patients exhibiting a significantly decreased or stable aneurysm size. The commercial experience related to aneurysm-related mortality among intraoperative and postoperative reports observed globally (more than 151,000 devices distributed) is consistent with the controlled clinical study experience. Improvements have been made to the delivery system to mitigate potential risks and to proactively respond to customer feedback. In mid-2011, Endologix introduced the AFX Endovascular AAA System which integrates a low profile, hydrophilically-coated 17Fr introducer system with AFX delivery systems, standard 9Fr percutaneous, pre-cannulated contralateral access, and stent grafts ranging in diameter from 22 to 34mm proximally and 13 to 25mm distally featuring proprietary eptfe graft technology. Additional improvements include the Vela Proximal Endograft System with radiopaque marker and improved delivery control and introduction of Duraply graft material with enhanced strength properties, both introduced in MM1059 Rev 01 3

4 READER S GUIDE Endologix, Inc. has prepared this clinical update to provide current information on the worldwide experience to date to physician users. Data and information on the final follow-up on the test patients implanted with the device during the original studies and on surgical control patients is detailed, including patient accountability, adverse events, incidence of endoleak, and aneurysm sac diameter regression. In addition, worldwide post-market information pertaining to product use, safety, and performance are discussed. A brief summary of the stent graft and delivery system design and construction as well as the regulatory status is provided below. The remainder of this section provides an overview of the contents of this report. Device Description The Endologix Powerlink and AFX stent graft systems are indicated for the endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using a surgical vascular access technique or a bilateral percutaneous technique in patients having suitable anatomy, including an adequate proximal aortic neck seal zone and common iliac artery seal zones. When deployed across the aortic aneurysm, the self-expanded stent graft implant provides a permanent conduit for blood flow, excluding the aneurysm sac from blood flow and pressurization. Refer to the Instructions for Use for all indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and details for proper use of the device. In recent years, Endologix has made several important improvements to the AFX stent graft family: 1. The Vela Proximal Endograft System was introduced for suprarenal and infrarenal proximal stent graft devices in February The stent graft was improved with the addition of a radiopaque marker within the proximal edge of the stent graft; this enhances fluoroscopic visualization during placement of the graft-covered device below the most caudal renal artery. The delivery system was improved with the addition of an internal constraining sleeve and refinements to the deployment mechanism, which enable further physician control over the stent graft deployment process to aid in precise placement at the desired location. 2. A change to the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (eptfe) graft processing methods was introduced in October 2014 which results in an ultra-high-density, multi-layered material referred to as Duraply. This improvement increased the graft material strength unilaterally while preserving the material s biocompatibility profile, and all other conformability and mechanical characteristics. 3. AFX Instructions for Use (IFU) were updated in 2015 to further clarify existing information related to procedure planning and follow-up imaging, and to improve the instructions for Vela deployment and delivery system withdrawal. Updates focused mainly on factors related to Type III endoleak prevention and monitoring; strengthening warnings/precautions, clarifying patient selection/treatment approach, and recommendations for imaging and post-operative patient follow-up. The imaging guidelines section was updated to include factors specific to Type III endoleak identification, including reduction in overlap and device integrity verification. 4. The AFX2 Bifurcated Endograft System is FDA and CE Mark approved. AFX2 consists of a new delivery system that features an integrated contralateral wire to replace the previous wire, refinement of the hemostatic control within the handle, and reduction of the contralateral introducer from 9F to a 7F profile. The inclusion of a contralateral.035" wire eliminates the previous contralateral wire exchange reducing both the number and complexity of steps in deployment. AFX2 is expected to be introduced in the U.S. and international markets in MM1059 Rev 01 4

5 The Endologix unibody infrarenal bifurcated stent grafts (primary device) has a main body with two attached limbs. Accessory stent grafts for customization to the patient anatomy are comprised of infrarenal and suprarenal proximal extensions and limb extensions in straight, tapered, flared, and stepped configurations. Both Powerlink and AFX stent grafts are constructed from the same cobalt chromium alloy stent cage. The high density expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (eptfe) graft cover used in the AFX stent graft evolved from a process improvement which reduced the Powerlink eptfe graft material thickness by half while maintaining the same mechanical strength and durability specifications to allow for a reduction delivery system profile. Surgical suture attaches the bifurcated body and limb grafts, and attaches the graft to the stent at each end. In the suprarenal configuration, a 2cm-length bare stent segment is attached to the proximal end of the stent graft. The bifurcated and proximal extension stent graft configurations are depicted in Figure 1. The limb extension stent graft configurations are shown in Figure 2. Figure 1. Bifurcated and Proximal Extension Stent Graft Configurations Infrarenal Bifurcated Stent Graft Infrarenal Proximal Extension Stent Graft Suprarenal Proximal Extension Stent Graft Figure 2. Limb Extension Stent Graft Configurations Straight and Tapered Limb Extension Stent Grafts Flared and Stepped Limb Extension Stent Grafts Placement of the long main body of the bifurcated stent graft with attached limbs at the aortoiliac bifurcation serves as the foundation for the implant by providing columnar support in the aneurysm sac, directly absorbing the luminal blood flow at the natural anatomical bifurcation, and eliminating the need for stent graft fixation within the proximal neck. The proximal extension and limb extension stent grafts permit customization of the implant to the patient anatomy as required, accommodating a range of proximal neck and iliac diameters.

6 The AFX Endograft AAA System is used with a separate 17Fr AFX Introducer System (19Fr outside diameter). All AFX stent graft delivery systems are compatible with the AFX Introducer System. There are three types of stent graft delivery systems that require delivery through the introducer system: the bifurcated stent graft delivery system; the Vela Proximal Endograft System, and the standard limb extension delivery system. A lower profile limb extension delivery system in 14 or 16Fr outer profile may be used alone or in conjunction with the introducer system. Only one femoral access site compatible with the 17Fr introducer sheath is required for ipsilateral deployment; contralateral access is compatible with standard percutaneous 9Fr introducers for the current AFX Bifurcated Endograft delivery system and reduces to 7Fr with the forthcoming AFX2 Bifurcated Endograft System. Introduction Endologix is dedicated to putting patients first in all we do. Central to this core value is our commitment to provide updated and emerging data and information to the physicians who care for these patients on our products and their safety and performance profiles. This 2015 annual update marks the 11-year anniversary of the initial US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) premarket approval of our Powerlink System, which is also available internationally in various countries. The AFX System has been available in the US since FDA approval in It was introduced in Europe shortly after the US introduction, and is available internationally in various countries. The results contained in this report indicate that the Powerlink and AFX Systems provide a safe and effective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) stent graft option in appropriately selected patients. Section 1 presents the long-term, final follow-up results from the five US pivotal clinical studies conducted with the Powerlink stent graft: the Infrarenal Bifurcated study, Suprarenal Bifurcated study, and XL study (34mm proximal extension), Suprarenal Extension study, and PEVAR (totally percutaneous EVAR) Trial. Safety results presented include the incidence of major adverse events as prospectively defined in the study protocols. Kaplan-Meier estimates for freedom from major adverse events, freedom from all-cause mortality, and freedom from aneurysm-related mortality are also presented. Effectiveness results include primary performance measures, and Core Laboratory reported aneurysm morphology evaluations, migration, endoleak incidence, secondary interventions, and stent graft performance measures including device patency, stent fracture, and graft integrity. Early, mid- and long-term follow-up results from the studies are positive. Moreover, results are consistent between studies, providing additional validating evidence as to the conclusions that can be drawn from the study results. In the Infrarenal and Suprarenal Bifurcated studies, results within one year demonstrate reduced incidence of major adverse events compared to the surgical control group. Continued follow-up through five years finds no significant differences between groups. Among all test patients, no aneurysm rupture was observed. Kaplan-Meier estimates for Infrarenal and Suprarenal test patients, respectively, include freedom from major adverse events (47%, 53%); freedom from all-cause mortality (77%, 77%); and freedom from aneurysmrelated mortality (98%, 98%). Aneurysm size is stable or decreased in the majority of patients, and mean sac diameter continued to decrease over time in the test groups. Secondary interventions within five years were performed primarily for Type II endoleak, with low rates of device-related interventions for endoleak or limb occlusion. No aneurysm rupture, stent fracture, graft failure, or other significant device integrity loss was observed through the five-year follow-up. No aneurysm-related mortality was observed in the XL and suprarenal aortic extension studies, which prospectively studied the anatomical fixation algorithm of the Endologix endografts. Unique to our platform, the bifurcated device with long main body was placed at the aortoiliac bifurcation with the long main body across the aneurysm; a proximal extension of suitable diameter was then placed to achieve both significant overlap with the bifurcated device body and proximal seal in the infrarenal neck. Aneurysm size is stable or MM1059 Rev 01 6

7 decreased in the majority of patients, and mean sac diameter continued to decrease over time. Secondary interventions within five years were performed primarily for Type II endoleak, with low rates of device-related interventions for endoleak or limb occlusion. No aneurysm rupture, stent fracture, graft failure, or other significant device integrity loss was observed through final five-year follow-up. No aneurysm-related deaths were observed in the PEVAR trial among 100 patients randomized to either totally percutaneous access or standard femoral exposure and endovascular repair using the Powerlink endografts. Treatment Success at one month, defined as procedural technical success per randomized assignment and absence of major adverse event or vascular event, was 88% and 78% in the PEVAR/ProGlide and SEVAR groups, respectively. No aneurysm rupture, stent fracture, graft failure, or other significant device integrity loss was observed through final six month follow-up. Section 2 presents the worldwide post-marketing experience. A total of 151,652 devices have been distributed globally since initial marketing. Endologix maintains an active system for collection, monitoring, and handling of customer experience reports (complaints) for its devices marketed worldwide. Integral to this system is the reporting of events in accordance with US regulations under 21 CFR 803 (Medical Device Reporting) and international Vigilance reporting requirements. Post-market surveillance has served to verify the effectiveness of the training program, and provided confirmation of elements of the approved labeling intended to mitigate risks. Such elements include: Identification and selection of suitable patient anatomy; Proper aneurysm and vascular sizing based on a recent high-resolution, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan; Proper stent graft selection and placement for the vascular and aneurysm anatomy being treated; Use and maintenance of a stiff guidewire during device delivery and deployment; Identification and use of radiopaque markers during placement, deployment, and delivery system removal. Section 3 provides a summary of all explant analyses from the pivotal clinical studies, as well as from commercial experience. Analyses included evaluation of the explanted stent graft using standa rd techni ques. Histopathological analyses were conducted by an independent, qualified laboratory. Section 4 provides Notes to Clinicians on the AFX System, and discusses important information on patient selection, device selection, and patient follow-up recommendations, including imaging assessments. Section 5 provides a brief summary of the product indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions; it also provides information on the peer-reviewed published literature of Powerlink and AFX outcomes to further inform physician decision making in caring for patients with AAA.

14 Aneurysm-Related Mortality Aneurysm-related mortality is defined as any death within 30 days of implantation, regardless of cause; and any death after 30 days due to aneurysm rupture, a primary or secondary procedure, or surgical conversion. Table 7 summarizes the aneurysm-related deaths in the Infrarenal Bifurcated Test, Surgical Control, Suprarenal Bifurcated Test, XL Study, Suprarenal Aortic Extension, and PEVAR Trial groups. Table 7.

17 A summary of the deaths reported to date in each study test group and in the surgical control group is provided in Table 8, organized by probable body system. If the death occurred within 30 days, or otherwise was found to be aneurysm-related, it is listed as such. These deaths were previously detailed in Table 5. Among the study groups, the largest causative categories are cancer-related, cardiac related, and pulmonary-related.

Major Adverse Events The protocol-specified primary safety endpoint in the Infrarenal and Suprarenal Bifurcated studies is the proportion of patients with a major adverse event (MAE) within one year compared to the surgical control group. Through one year, patients treated with the Endologix stent graft in both studies experienced fewer MAEs compared with control patients treated with open surgery. In each study, hypothesis testing of the study results met the one-year safety endpoint success criterion. MAEs reported from the time of enrollment through one year (0 Days-1 Year), and after one year through current follow-up to five years (>1 Year-5 Years) are presented in Table 9. Within one year, fewer study patients experienced an MAE compared with patients treated with open surgery. Longer term follow-up of patients in the test group included clinical visits as well as Core Laboratory evaluated diagnostic imaging results (CT scans and x-rays). Longer term follow-up in control group patients who remained in the study included primarily telephone follow-up. Notably, no aneurysm rupture was observed throughout five-year follow-up in any study. Further details on secondary procedures are provided in the Treatment Effectiveness subpart of this Section. Additional details on explants are provided in Section 3. MAE in these studies is a composite endpoint consisting of: all-cause death; aneurysm rupture; conversion to open repair; myocardial infarction; coronary intervention; renal failure; respiratory failure; secondary intervention; and stroke.

20 MAEs reported in the XL and Suprarenal Aortic Extension studies through one year are itemized in Table 10. Results are consistent with the Infrarenal and Suprarenal Bifurcated studies, and with the natural progression of this elderly patient population. Notably, no aneurysm rupture was observed in follow-up. One conversion to open repair was performed in one XL patient in conjunction with a total open repair of a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Further details on secondary procedures are provided in the Treatment Effectiveness subpart of this Section. Table 10.

MM1059 Rev 01 21

22 Treatment Effectiveness Aneurysm Sac Exclusion. The Core Laboratory assessed CT scans to determine the effectiveness of aneurysm sac exclusion, as measured by maximum diameter changes over time. Consistent with the literature, aneurysm sac diameter decrease or increase was defined as a change of >5mm compared to baseline. 1 A summary of the results to five years is presented in Table 12 and Table 13. No aneurysm rupture has occurred in any patient. At five years, the large majority of patients in each study were observed with stable or decreased aneurysm sac diameter. These long-term data are consistent in demonstrating effective aneurysm sac exclusion. Since the eptfe grafts used in all of the clinical studies are identical in size, design, and processing, a similar rate of sac increase was anticipated in the absence of other variables. Slightly higher rates of increased aneurysm sac diameter reported in the Suprarenal Bifurcated, XL, and Suprarenal Aortic Extension studies compared to the Infrarenal Bifurcated study. These higher rates were attributed to Type II endoleaks in the majority of patients (Type I endoleak was causal in six patients). Core laboratory comparison of the Type II endoleak rates among the Infrarenal Bifurcated and Suprarenal Bifurcated studies demonstrates a substantial disparity in the prevalence of Type II endoleaks (23% Suprarenal vs. 15% Infrarenal) categorized as moderate to severe due to a patent IMA or multiple lumbar arteries (60% Suprarenal vs. 42% Infrarenal). As reported in the literature, the incidence of Type II endoleak varies in the endovascularly-treated population from 8% to 32%. 2 It is therefore plausible that the difference in aneurysm sac enlargement in the XL and Suprarenal Aortic Extension clinical studies is also due to differences in the prevalence and severity of Type II endoleak due to large patent IMA or lumbar arteries.

Among patients identified with a sac diameter increase, all but one was attributed to Type II endoleak. This one patient (Suprarenal Bifurcated Study, 1-Year follow-up) was identified with both a Type I and Type II endoleak. 1 Chaikof EL.

Among patients identified with a sac diameter increase, the majority were attributed to Type II endoleak. The exceptions in each study are as follows: XL Aortic Extension Study: 2 patients at the 2-year and 3-year follow-up were observed with a Type I and Type II endoleak. Suprarenal Aortic Extension Study: 2 patients at the 1-year follow-up and 1 patient at the 3-year follow-up were observed with a Type I endoleak. Migration. The Core Laboratory assessed CT scans to determine distal device movement relevant to the initial implant location (baseline CT scan) at each follow-up. Consistent with the literature, migration is defined as device movement of >10mm relative to the original implant location. In the Infrarenal Bifurcated study, a total of eight patients (4.2%) were observed with distal migration over five years; secondary proximal extension placement was performed in two patients (no endoleak). In the Suprarenal Bifurcated study, a total of three patients (2.0%) have been observed with distal migration; only one required proximal extension placement. Among the XL and Suprarenal Aortic Extension studies, one patient with a rapidly enlarging thoracic aortic aneurysm was identified with neck dilation and migration, and underwent a total open repair of the thoracic and abdominal aorta at 22 months. No migration of an anatomically-fixed bifurcated stent graft was observed. MM1059 Rev 01 23
