What is TAVR? For patients who are either at high risk or too sick for open-heart surgery, TAVR may be an alternative This less invasive procedure allows the aortic valve to be replaced with a new valve while the heart is still beating 11
The Problem: Aortic Stenosis Gross specimen of minimally diseased aortic valve (left) and severely stenotic aortic valve (right) Images courtesy of Renu Virmani MD at the CVPath Institute 12
Aortic Stenosis Is Life Threatening and Progresses Rapidly 7 Survival after onset of symptoms is 50% at 2 years 1 Surgical intervention for severe aortic stenosis should be performed promptly once even minor symptoms occur 1 13

Addressing a Serious Unmet Need Studies show at least 40% of SAS patients are not treated with an AVR 9-15 17
All-Cause Mortality, % Standard Therapies are Inadequate Treatments for Severe Aortic Stenosis Patients 100 80 60 40 The PARTNER Trial 50.7% Control Group (Med Rx and BAV) 68.0% 20 0 Numbers at Risk Control Group 0 6 12 18 24 Months 179 121 85 62 42 As seen previously, survival after onset of symptoms in patients with aortic stenosis is 50% at 2 years 1 The PARTNER Trial showed that in inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis who did not receive a valve replacement, 50% died within 1 year Despite the frequent utilization of BAV, standard therapy did not do much to alter the dismal course of disease for inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis 18
Edwards SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart Valve The Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve is indicated for patients with severe symptomatic calcified native aortic valve stenosis who have been examined by a Heart Team including an experienced cardiac surgeon and cardiologist and found to be either inoperable or at high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement.

MitraClip Clip Delivery System INDICATION FOR USE The MitraClip Clip Delivery System is indicated for the percutaneous reduction of significant symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR 3+) due to primary abnormality of the mitral apparatus [degenerative MR] in patients who have been determined to be at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery by a heart team, which includes a cardiac surgeon experienced in mitral valve surgery and a cardiologist experienced in mitral valve disease, and in whom existing comorbidities would not preclude the expected benefit from reduction of the mitral regurgitation. CONTRAINDICATIONS The MitraClip Clip Delivery System is contraindicated in DMR patients with the following conditions: Patients who cannot tolerate procedural anticoagulation or post procedural anti-platelet regimen Active endocarditis of the mitral valve Rheumatic mitral valve disease Evidence of intracardiac, inferior vena cava (IVC) or femoral venous thrombus
