Potential advantages of DES Equal/better efficacy in long, real world lesions Calcium has not been demonstrated to reduce effectiveness of DES, unlike DCB Scaffolding not a question Removes the art of judging whether acute result will hold up Reduces/eliminates the acute occlusion risk Only long term data available May be more cost effective Reduces inventory

Clinical Probability of Restenosis Following SFA Stenting Restenosis following nitinol stenting in the SFA peaks at around 12 months Timing of SFA restenosis is longer compared to coronary stenting, which predominantly occurs within 6 months after stenting Factors for restenosis in the SFA include the number of runoff vessels, severity of lower limb ischemia, and length of diseased segments Iida, O. et al. Cath and Cardiov Intv. 2011; 78:611 617. Kimura T, et al. N Engl J Med 1996;334:561 567.
Anti-proliferative drug delivery: Polymer-based Coating Technology: A variety of stent coatings with differing performance profiles have been studied in clinical trials. Stent coatings can be broadly classified into three types: No polymer coatings/surfaces Biocompatible (polymer) coatings Drug-delivery coatings Stent coatings influence the thrombogenic activity of metal stents as well as the kinetics of the release of incorporated drugs.

DES Treatment in a Preclinical Model of Peripheral Artery Restenosis Eluvia Fluorocopolymer Coated Self-expanding Low-dose Paclitaxel-eluting Stent in Porcine Ilio-femoral Model Paclitaxel was released steadily with limited initial burst phase followed by a sustained controlled release phase. The amount of paclitaxel found in the heart, liver, and systemic blood were below quantifiable levels at every time point. 12 pigs, up four 20 mm stents per animal Arterial, heart, liver and residual stent paclitaxel content were analyzed at 4, 10, 30, 60, 90 and 180 days (n=8 stents/time-point) Hou, D. TCT 2012. Porcine model results not necessarily indicative of clinical performance.
Controlled Drug Release * Drug release from the Eluvia system is sustained over time >90% of drug is released at 1 year Drug release coincides with the restenotic cascade Based on pre-clinical PK analysis.

DES Treatment in a Preclinical Model of Peripheral Artery Restenosis Fluorocopolymer Coated Self-expanding Low-dose Paclitaxel-eluting Stent in Porcine Ilio-femoral Model Neointimal thickness was significantly inhibited by FP-PES compared to BMS at 30 and 90 days (P=0.001, respectively), yielding reductions of in-stent stenosis by 48.1% and 51.9% for FP-PES vs. BMS (P=0.005 and P<0.0001, respectively). No differences in any of the histomorphometric parameters were apparent at 180 days. 37 pigs, used two 80 mm stents per animal Either FP-PES or BMS (bare metal stent) was implanted with 1.0 to 2.0 mm size up to the baseline vessel diameter. Animals were sacrificed at 30, 90 and 180 days (n=12 stents/timepoint) after repeat angiogram. Hou, D. TCT 2012. Porcine model results not necessarily indicative of clinical performance.

Boston Scientific Global Pivotal Study IMPERIAL Trial Clinical Study Overview: IMPERIAL Title A randomized trial comparing the ELUVIA drug-eluting stent versus Zilver PTX stent for treatment of superficial femoral and/or proximal popliteal arteries Primary Investigators Objective Study Design Global: William A. Gray, MD European: Prof. Dr. med Stefan Müller-Hülsbeck To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ELUVIA Drug-Eluting Vascular Stent System (ELUVIA Stent) for treating Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and/or Proximal Popliteal Artery (PPA) lesions up to 140 mm in length. The trial consists of the following: A prospective, multicenter, 2:1 randomized (ELUVIA vs Zilver PTX), controlled, single-blind, non-inferiority trial (RCT) A concurrent, non-blinded, non-randomized, single-arm, pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy A subject may be enrolled in the RCT or the substudy; but not in both The Eluvia Stent system is an investigational device, not available for sale in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Major Adverse Event (MAE) rate defined as All cause death through 1 month Target limb major amputation through 12 months Target lesion revascularization (TLR) through 12 months First Patient Enrolled December 2015 The Eluvia Stent system is an investigational device, not available for sale in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Ranger is not available for sale in the U.S. The Eluvia Drug-Eluting Vascular Stent is an investigational device, not available for sale in the European Economic Area (EEA) or U.S. Conclusions Drug eluting stents and drug coated balloons are expected to make up 50% of the worldwide endovascular market by 2024 The Eluvia Drug Eluting Stent is designed to optimize flexibility, radial strength, and fracture resistance The Eluvia dual layer coating design allows for a sustained drug release that coincides with the restenotic cascade The MAJESTIC 12 month results demonstrated: Primary patency of 96.1% TLR rate of 3.8% High patency and excellent safety profile achieved in the challenging subgroup of diabetic patients Zero observed stent fractures The IMPERIAL study design will directly compare two DES treatments in the SFA
