6 Incidence of Type I a Endoleak is low 3 year data from ENGAGE-Registy At 1 year n= 1079* At 2 Year n= 900* At 3 Year n= 333* Endoleak (Total) 9.8% (106) 10% (90) 10.2% (34) Type I 0.4% (4) 0.9% (8) 1.2% (4) Type II 8.5% (92) 7.7% (69) 8.1% (27) Type III 0.2% (2) 0.7% (6) 0,3 (1) Type I and/or III 0.6% (6) 1.6% (14) 1.5% (5) *n=evaluable diagnostic images

7 Predictors of Endograft Failure > Migration and Endoleak Type 1a - Angulated > 60 and short neck - Large maximal AAA diameter - Neck thrombus - Complex iliac artery anatomy - Stiffness of the stentgraft - Postprocedural factors (e.g. neck dilatation) ENDURANT Clinical Program Peppelenbosch N, A report from EUROSTAR. J Vasc Surg 2004;39(2): Resch T, J Vasc Interv Radiol 1999;10(3): Albertini JN, Vascular 2005;13(6):

8 Recommendation in Guidelines Type I endoleaks should be treated! Level 2 b, Recommendation B

9 Options for repair of type 1 EL Cuff extension Balloon expandable stents (e.g. Palmaz) EndoAnchor Embolization (e.g. Onyx) Open Conversion Surveillance?

10 Example EVAR & Endoanchors in conical neck with Type I EL

11 EndoAnchors to fix Type 1a Endoleaks Aptus Heli-FX EndoAnchor: - Guide - Applier - Cassette with EndoAnchors EndoAnchor Dimensions: 4.5mm length 3.0mm diameter *Based on ANCHOR Registry, STAPLE-1 & STAPLE-2 US IDE Studies & Heli-FX commercial experience

16 ANCHOR Registry (Jordan et al, JVS 2014) 319 patients in 43 sites in US and Europe 242 implants (75.9%) at initial procedure 77 implants (24.1 %) for revision

19 ANCHOR Registry Results in treating Type Ia Endoleaks Arm Total Patients Success rate (%) Primary (acute type 1) % Revision (late type 1) 76 90% No EndoAnchor related SAEs and reinterventions Reasons for unsuccessful results: Primary: 1 unresolved type 1a endoleak F/U Revision: 6 persistent Type 1a endoleak 1 Pt w/persistent Endoleak (Pre-existing Condition), 2 Pts outside Aptus IFU Other Pts. undergoing Corelab review

21 Comparing EndoAnchor versus Palmaz Rate of persisting Type 1a Endoleak at the end of primary EVAR Studies Persisting Type 1a Endoleak Byrne J et al.* (Palmaz) 8.6% ** ANCHOR Registry 2.2% *Byrne J et al.

22 Limitations of Endo Anchors Severe neck calcification Thrombusline > 2 mm and > 180º of circumference Distance between stentgraft and aortic wall > 2mm Avci M et al. J Cardiovasc Surg 2012; 53:419-26

23 Heidelberg Algorythm for Type 1a EL Proximal Type I EL PTA & persisting EL sufficient remaining neck insufficient remaining neck Cuff / fenestrated SG- extension Embolisation or Conservative EndoAnchor Palmaz Stent - kinked neck - non-calcified native aorta - straigt neck - thrombus

24 Consider primary CHEVAR or FEVAR

25 Summary Type 1 a Endoleak rate is low within ENGAGE Need for treatment to prevent secondary rupture Several options to treat Type 1 a Endoleak No comparative studies for different modalities Endoanchors are approved for Type I EL and do better than Palmaz stents Anchor registry shows excellent results Consider primary FEVAR/Chimney for unfavorable neck morphology
