1 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Annual Clinical Update (216) Page i Annual Clinical Update Abstract Cook is pleased to provide you with this clinical update on the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft, which was commercially approved by FDA on May 21, 28. Section I provides the results from the completed multi-center clinical trial, reflecting final data received as of February 23, 212. Briefly, the study was designed to compare thoracic aneurysm/ulcer treatment with the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft in 16 patients to open surgical repair in 7 control patients. All patients reached a study endpoint. Five-year follow-up data were collected from 93% (68/73) of endovascular patients and 48% (12/25) control patients. Survival from aneurysm-related mortality at 6 months was 88.7% in the endovascular treatment group and 76.7% in the open surgical control group. No death in the endovascular treatment group was found to be related to failure of a component of the device. The percent of patients with new endoleak at yearly follow-up was at 12 months, 1.1% at 24 months, 1.2% at 36 months, 6.7% at 48 months, and 1.9% at 6 months. There were 14 patients with an increase in aneurysm/ulcer size at one or more time points. Device integrity observations during follow-up included stent fracture (4 patients), barb separation (18 patients), component separation (1 patient), and bare stent entanglement (1 patient). There was one report of clinically significant migration during follow-up, which occurred at 48 months. The percent of patients requiring at least one reintervention subsequent to the initial aneurysm/ulcer repair procedure was 6.9% for the endovascular treatment group and 8.6% in the open surgical control group. There were no ruptures or conversions to open surgical repair in the endovascular treatment group. Results from the additional patients enrolled during continued access (n=25) and the post-approval study (n=115) are also described. Section II summarizes worldwide commercial experience through March 31, 216. A total of 75,224 components have been sold worldwide (including 26,827 sold in the US) since May 21, 28. There have been 344 procedural and follow-up complaints reported since approval. Section III summarizes the findings from explant analysis. To date, six explants have undergone analysis. Section IV is reserved for any new notes or general instructions to clinicians, of which there are none at this time beyond those already covered as part of the indications, warnings, and precautions from the IFU. Section V provides a brief summary of the indications, warnings, and precautions from the IFU.

2 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Annual Clinical Update (216) Page ii Device Description The Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft is a two-piece cylindrical endovascular graft consisting of proximal and distal components. The proximal component can be either non-tapered or tapered and may be used alone or in combination with a distal component. The stent-grafts are constructed of woven polyester fabric sewn to self-expanding stainless steel Cook-Z stents with braided polyester and monofilament polypropylene sutures. The covered stent at the proximal end of the proximal component contains barbs, which protrude through the graft material. In addition, the bare stent at the distal end of the distal component contains barbs. Ancillary endovascular components (proximal and distal body extensions) are also available. Please refer to the IFU for a more detailed description of the components and the delivery system, as well as the indications, warnings, and precautions (also summarized in Section V). Introduction One of the conditions of approval of the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft was to provide a clinical update to physician users annually. This update has been formatted in accordance with a template that was agreed upon by FDA, industry, and clinicians during a meeting at FDA in October 28. Accordingly, the clinical update is comprised of the following sections: Clinical Study Experience (Section I); Worldwide Commercial Experience (Section II); Explant Analysis (Section III); Notes to Clinicians (Section IV); and Brief Summary of Indications, Warnings, and Precautions from IFU (Section V).

4 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Page 1 Annual Clinical Update (216) Section I Clinical Study Experience Description of Studies Pivotal The STARZ-TX2 Clinical Trial is a non-randomized, controlled, multi-center, multinational study that was conducted to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft in the elective treatment of patients with descending thoracic aortic aneurysms or ulcers, as compared with open surgical repair. The study consisted of an endovascular treatment group and an open surgical control group. The open surgical control group was comprised of both prospectively enrolled and retrospectively enrolled patients. The same inclusion/exclusion criteria applied to both the endovascular treatment group and the open surgical control group, except that patients in the open surgical control group were not required to have anatomy amenable to endovascular repair with the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft. The clinical study device is the same as the device that is commercially available, with the only exception pertaining to the delivery system all patients enrolled in the clinical study were treated using the H&L-B One-Shot Introduction System, which has been replaced with the now commercially-approved Pro-Form and Z-Trak Plus Introduction System. Forty-two (42) institutions enrolled a total of 16 endovascular treatment patients and 7 open surgical control patients. The study follow-up schedule for patients enrolled in the endovascular treatment group consisted of radiographic (CT scan and X-ray) and clinical assessments at pre-discharge, 3 days, 6 months, 12 months, and yearly thereafter through 5 years. The study follow-up schedule for patients enrolled in the open surgical control group consisted of radiographic (CT scan) and clinical assessments at predischarge (or 3 days) and 12 months, with an interim telephone contact at 6 months, and additional optional follow-up at yearly intervals through 5 years. The study was designed to assess two primary and two secondary hypotheses regarding the endovascular treatment group as compared with the open surgical control group. The primary hypothesis for safety was non-inferior 3-day survival, and the primary hypothesis for effectiveness was non-inferior 3-day rupture-free survival (i.e., freedom from rupture). The secondary hypotheses were superior clinical utility in the endovascular treatment group and non-inferior 3-day morbidity, expressed as a composite morbidity score including 57 pre-specified events. All study hypotheses were met. In addition, the study assessed survival, morbidity, and device performance through 12 months, and continued these assessments at yearly intervals through 5 years. Study

5 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Page 2 Annual Clinical Update (216) follow-up is complete, and the reported results reflect final data received as of February 23, 212. Continued Access Subsequent to completion of enrollment in the pivotal study and prior to commercial availability, continued access to the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft was offered to investigators under a study expansion that followed the same inclusion/exclusion criteria, follow-up schedule, definitions, and data collection as for the pivotal study. A total of 25 patients were enrolled between July 5, 26 and August 11, 28. Follow-up for the continued access cohort is complete, and the reported results reflect final data received as of October 23, 213. Post-Approval A post-approval study of 3 patients with a primary endpoint of 5-year aneurysmrelated mortality was agreed upon as a condition of approval of the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft. Patients enrolled pre-approval (16 pivotal + 25 continued access) will be combined with 115 additional patients to be enrolled post-approval. Patient enrollment is complete and follow-up is on-going; the reported results reflect data received as of March 14, 216. Patient Availability Patient availability for completed follow-up in the pivotal study is summarized in Table 1. Patient availability for completed follow-up in continued access is summarized in Table 2. Patient availability for on-going follow-up of the patients enrolled postapproval is summarized in Table 3.

9 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Page 6 Annual Clinical Update (216) Aneurysm-Related Mortality Aneurysm-related mortality was defined as death occurring within 3 days of the initial implant procedure or a secondary intervention, or any death adjudicated to be aneurysmrelated by the independent clinical events committee (CEC). Pivotal The following data summarize survival from aneurysm-related mortality in the endovascular treatment and open surgical control groups. As illustrated in Figure 1 and presented in Table 4, survival from aneurysm-related mortality at 1825 days was 88.7% in the endovascular treatment group and 76.7% in the open surgical control group. No death in the endovascular treatment group was found to be related to failure of a component of the device. Figure 1: Survival from Aneurysm-related Mortality

Continued Access There were two TAA-related deaths according to the CEC. The causes of death were stroke (4 days post-procedure) in one and acute renal failure/care withdrawn (41 days post-procedure) for the other. Post-approval There have been two TAA-related deaths according to the CEC. The causes of death were respiratory failure (3 days post-procedure) and aortic rupture (626 days post-

11 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Page 8 Annual Clinical Update (216) procedure). The death from rupture occurred in association with a possible proximal Type I endoleak despite a decrease in aneurysm size and lack of endoleak per core lab analysis of the 12-month follow-up CT. All-Cause Mortality Pivotal The following data summarize survival from all-cause mortality in the endovascular treatment and open surgical control groups. As illustrated by Figure 2 and presented in Table 5, survival from all-cause mortality at 1825 days was 62.9% in the endovascular treatment group and 62.8% in the open surgical control group.

Independent clinical events committee adjudication determined the death to be unrelated to TAA repair. If counted amongst the all-cause mortality, the adjusted Kaplan- Meier survival estimate is 61.1%. Continued Access There have been 11 total deaths (2 adjudicated as related, 6 adjudicated as unrelated by the CEC, and 3 in which the CEC was unable to adjudicate). Post-approval There have been 26 total deaths (2 adjudicated as related by the CEC, 2 adjudicated as unrelated by the CEC, and 4 in which the CEC was unable to adjudicate). Endoleak Pivotal Table 6 reports the percent of patients with endoleak (by type) at each follow-up time point based on the results from core lab analysis. Patients who underwent a secondary intervention for endoleak or who had associated aneurysm size increase are indicated by footnotes. The percent of patients with new endoleak at yearly follow-up was at 12 months, 1.1% at 24 months, 1.2% at 36 months, 6.7% at 48 months, and 1.9% at 6 months.

Unknown endoleak type by core lab analysis of 48-month follow-up exam, not confirmed by site, and with no increase in aneurysm diameter at any time point. c Patient 41218: Site reported distal Type I endoleak requiring secondary intervention (placement of two distal extensions) following pre-discharge exam. Additional secondary intervention (placement of additional main body component) reported by site following 48-month exam for treatment of Type III endoleak (between separated main body component and previously placed extensions) in setting of aortic elongation. No associated increase in aneurysm diameter noted at any time point. d Patient 41216: Site reported proximal Type I endoleak requiring secondary intervention prior to predischarge exam. e Patient 25121: Secondary intervention (angiogram) performed to rule out endoleak following predischarge exam no endoleak detected. Continued Access Core lab reported endoleaks were as follows: Type III endoleak (n=3, all at predischarge), proximal Type I endoleak (n=1, at 24 months), distal Type I endoleak (n=1, at 6 months). One patient with core lab reported endoleak (proximal Type I) required a secondary intervention. Patient 4154 had a proximal extension placed 825 days postprocedure due to site reported proximal Type I endoleak with no associated aneurysm enlargement. The patient also had caudal migration of the proximal edge of the proximal component with no associated increase in aneurysm size through 6-month follow-up. Insufficient device oversizing relative to the location of actual graft placement may have been a contributing factor to migration.

14 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Page 11 Annual Clinical Update (216) Post-approval Core lab reported endoleaks thus far are as follows: distal Type I endoleak (n=5, one at 1 month and 6 months; one at 6 months; one at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months; one at 12 months and 24 months; and one at 36 months), proximal Type I endoleak (n=2, one at 6 months and one at 12 months), Type III endoleak (n=1, at 6 months), Type IV (n=1, at 6 months; Type IIb was also reported for this patient). One patient with core lab reported endoleak (Type III) required a secondary intervention. Patient had a proximal extension placed 287 days post-procedure to treat site reported proximal Type I endoleak with no associated aneurysm growth reported. Change in Size Pivotal Table 7 reports the percent of patients with an increase (> 5 mm), decrease (> 5 mm), or no change ( 5 mm) in aneurysm diameter (or ulcer depth) by core lab analysis at each follow-up time point subsequent to pre-discharge, which represents baseline. In total, 14 patients (12 aneurysm, 2 ulcer) have experienced an increase in size at one or more time points: 5 with detectable endoleak at one or more time points (2 requiring secondary intervention and 3 which resolved without reintervention); 3 with no detectable endoleak (or evidence of infection), but who underwent secondary intervention for a decrease in overlap between components for 1, migration for 1, and suspected endotension for 1; 5 without detectable endoleak (or evidence of infection), but with a decrease or stabilization in size at subsequent follow-up without reintervention; and 1 with no detectable endoleak (or evidence of infection), no reintervention, and has reached the final follow-up timepoint. Any patient with size increase and associated endoleak and/or requiring a secondary intervention is indicated by a footnote in Table 5. There were no reports of rupture or conversion to open surgical repair in the endovascular treatment group.

Type IIa endoleak was reported at 48-month follow-up without reintervention, and the patient died prior to 6-month follow-up. d Patient 41121: Patient presented with flank pain and underwent secondary intervention between the 12-month and 24-month exams to treat symptoms due to junctional Type III endoleak from component separation retrospective review of procedural imaging suggests the length of overlap achieved between components at the time of initial deployment was less than the minimum recommended amount. e Patient : Patient was noted to have a Type IIb endoleak at pre-discharge, but not on subsequent follow-up and was without secondary intervention. f Patient 36126: Patient underwent secondary intervention between 48- and 6-months for CECconfirmed migration. No endoleak has been noted at any follow-up timepoint. No change in aneurysm size at last follow-up. g Patient 41121: Patient was noted to have endoleak of unknown type at pre-discharge, but not on subsequent follow-up and was without secondary intervention. h Patient 41213: Patient was noted to have a Type IIb endoleak at pre-discharge, but not on subsequent follow-up and was without secondary intervention. Continued Access Core lab reported increase in aneurysm size (> 5 mm) occurred in 2 patients (one at 24 months and one at 36 months that was reported again at 6 months). Neither patient underwent a secondary intervention. Patient (with aneurysm growth at 24 months) was without detectable endoleak and had an aneurysm size at 6-month followup that was unchanged from baseline. Patient (with aneurysm growth at 36- and 6-month follow-up) had Type III endoleak at pre-discharge follow-up and distal Type I

16 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Page 13 Annual Clinical Update (216) endoleak at 6-month follow-up due to cranial migration of the distal edge of the distal component in the setting of aneurysmal enlargement of the aorta distal to the study device, which per core laboratory assessment, advanced over time to include aorta surrounding the distal device component without need for secondary intervention through 6-month follow-up. Per the study site, the case was conservatively managed due to comorbid conditions, with no secondary intervention planned. Post-approval Core lab reported increase in aneurysm size (> 5 mm) occurred in 8 patients (one at 12- months; one at 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months; one at 12 months through 48 months; one at 24 months and 36-months, one at 24 months and 48 months, one at 36- months, and two at 6-months), 4 also with core lab reported endoleak, as noted below. No patients with core lab reported aneurysm growth have undergone a secondary intervention to date. Patient had a core lab reported distal Type I endoleak at 1 month, 6 months, and at 36 months; the core lab also reported presence of a Type IIA endoleak at 1 month and 6 months. In addition, the core lab reported the presence of radiographic migration and barb separation at 12-months. Patient had a core lab reported persistent Type IIB endoleak at 1 month and 6 months; in addition, the core lab reported a Type IV endoleak at 6 months. Patient had a core lab reported Type IIB endoleak at 1 month, which appears to have resolved without the need for any reintervention. Patient 58184R had a core lab reported distal Type I endoleak that persisted at both 12 months and 24 months. At 3 days, the core lab also reported barb separation. Rupture Pivotal As shown in Table 8, there have been no ruptures in either the endovascular treatment group or open surgical control group.

Post-approval There has thus far been one rupture reported (the same patient died, as noted previously). Device Integrity Pivotal The percent of patients with device integrity findings at each follow-up time point based on the results from core lab analysis are presented in Table 9. Device integrity findings during follow-up included: stent fracture (4 patients), barb separation (18 patients), component separation (1 patient), and bare stent entanglement (1 patient). As indicated in the footnotes to the table, the need for associated reintervention was infrequent in patients with device integrity findings.

Continued Access Device integrity observations by the core lab were as follows: stent fracture (n=2, one at 36 months and one at 48 months), and barb separation (n=5, three at 36 months and two at 48 months). One patient required a secondary intervention. Patient 4154 had multiple barb separations reported from the proximal component (at 36-month follow-up) and underwent a secondary intervention for caudal migration of the proximal component and Type I endoleak at 825 days following the procedure, in the setting of insufficient device oversizing relative to the location of actual graft placement. No size increase, further endoleak, or further migration was reported. While not requiring reintervention, Patient (with multiple barb separations and multiple fractures of the distal bare stent of the distal device component at 36 months) also had migration of the distal component at 24 months not associated with endoleak or an increase in aneurysm size. Patient (with multiple barb separations from the proximal component at 48 months) also had migration of the proximal component at 48 months not associated with endoleak, increase in size, or need for secondary intervention. Patient (with multiple barb separations from the distal component at 48 months) also had cranial migration of the distal component at 24 months as well as a distal Type I endoleak at 6 months and an increase in aneurysm size at 36 and 6 months, in the setting of aneurysmal enlargement of aorta distal to the study device, which per core laboratory assessment, advanced over time to include aorta surrounding the distal device component, but without the need for secondary intervention. Post-approval Device integrity observations by the core lab are as follows thus far: barb separation (n=8, one at 1-month, one at 12-months, one at 24-months, four at 36-months, and one at 48-months). No patients underwent a secondary intervention due to device integrityrelated observations. While not requiring reintervention, Patient (with barb separation at 12 months) also had migration at 6 months and a Type IIa endoleak with no aneurysm growth. Patient (with barb separation at 36 months) also had migration reported at 12 months, though there were no other associated findings such as endoleak or aneurysm growth. Patient (with barb separation at 36 months) also

20 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Page 17 Annual Clinical Update (216) had a distal Type I endoleak identified at 3 days and 6 months, though there was no associated aneurysm growth or migration. Migration Migration (radiographic) was defined as core laboratory determination, with CEC confirmation, of antegrade or retrograde movement of the proximal or distal components of the endoprosthesis > 1 mm relative to anatomical landmarks identified on the first post-operative CT scan, with clinically significant migration defined as migration resulting in the need for secondary intervention. Pivotal Table 1 reports the percent of patients with migration (clinically significant and radiographic) based on date of first occurrence. The CEC confirmed migration in 12 patients during follow-up (one of which was considered clinically significant). Inadequate aortic neck anatomy and/or insufficient device oversizing relative to the location of actual graft placement was often identified as a potential contributing factor in the patients with migration.

Continued Access Migration was noted as follows: clinically significant migration (n=1, at 24 months), radiographic migration (n=4, one at 12 months, two at 24 months, and one at 48 months). Patient 4154 (with clinically significant caudal migration of the proximal edge of the proximal component at 24 months) had site reported proximal Type I endoleak requiring secondary intervention (placement of a proximal main body extension); there was no associated increase in size. Insufficient device oversizing relative to the location of actual graft placement may have been a contributing factor to migration.

21 Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft (P716) Page 18 Annual Clinical Update (216) Post-approval Migration has been noted as follows thus far: clinically significant migration (n=1, at 12 months), radiographic migration (n=13, seven at 6-months, two at 12-months, two at 24-months, one at 36-months, and one at 48-months). Patient (with clinically significant migration at 12 months) underwent a secondary intervention 91 days postprocedure for a site-reported distal Type I endoleak. None of the other patients with radiographic migration underwent associated reintervention. Secondary Interventions Pivotal Eleven (6.9%) endovascular treatment patients (1 aneurysm, 1 ulcer) and 6 (8.6%) open surgical control patients (4 aneurysm, 2 ulcer) underwent at least one reintervention subsequent to the initial aneurysm/ulcer repair procedure. The site-reported reasons for reintervention are provided in Table 11. There were no cases of conversion to open surgical repair in the endovascular treatment group.
