CRT 2013 POBA Inadequacies – “Unmet Clinical Need” DES/BMS/BVS pre-dilatation (geographic miss, inadequate stent expansion/wall apposition) Heavily calcified/hard lesions ISR (balloon slippage/geographic miss, tissue recoil) Diffuse/small vessel disease (poor acute results) Bifurcation side branch ostial lesions Unpredictable results and high rate (≥ 40%) of uncontrolled dissections requiring bailout stenting High rate of restenosis (30 -50%)

CRT 2013 Proposed Angio. Sculpt Benefits Prepare Vessel for DES/BMS/BVS* Non-slip (avoid “geographic miss”) Full stent expansion/apposition at lower balloon pressures Calcified & Fibrotic Lesions More optimal lumen expansion at lower balloon pressures Less trauma/dissection leading to more predictable results Bifurcation Lesions* (AGILITY Trial) Less elastic “recoil” in ostial side-branches or plaque-shifting Lower rate of dissection and need for second stent in side-branch Non-slip Overcome “stent jail” of side-branch Costa et al, Am J Cardiol 2007; 100: 812 -817 Mooney et al, Am J Cardiol 2006; 98; 8: 121 M Moses et al, CCI 2011; 77; 6: S 43 * Caution - INVESTIGATIONAL DEVICES, LIMITED BY FEDERAL LAW TO INVESTIGATIONAL USE
CRT 2013 Proposed Angio. Sculpt Benefits – cont’d Small Vessel Disease (≤ 2. 5 mm diameter) Less dissections/more predictable results Avoid stenting (“full metal jacket”) In-Stent Restenosis (ISR) Non-slip (avoid “geographic miss”) Less tissue “recoil” More optimal re-expansion of original stent Ostial Lesions Overcome calcification and elastic recoil of these complex lesions Allow use of thin strut stents with less radial strength (e. g. Xience) More accurate placement and avoid slippage Fonseca et al, J Inv Cardiol 2008; 20: 21 -27 Mooney et al, Am J Cardiol 2006; 98; 8: 121 M
CRT 2013 Angio. Sculpt for PAD Effective as primary therapy in a broad range of complex lesion morphologies (“stent-like” acute angiographic results) Very useful in peripheral lesions where stenting should be avoided (ISR, popliteal, CFA, profunda, A-V dialysis graft/fistula) Emerging role for renal artery stenosis (pre-dilatation, ISR) Avoids “geographic miss” due to device slippage Preliminary data suggest a favorable limb salvage rate in patients with CLI and a favorable long term patency rate in femoro-popliteal disease compared to historical data with POBA (MASCOT Trial) Safe with a very low complication rate (low dissection rate, very rare perforations or device malfunctions) Longer length Angio. Sculpt devices (≥ 100 mm) may extend the usefulness of this technology to more complex & diffuse lesion subsets Scheinert et al, CCI 2007; 70: 1034 -1039 Bosiers et al, Vascular 2009; 17(1): 29 -35
CRT 2013 . . . but no proven benefit in reducing restenosis compared to POBA
CRT 2013 Why Consider a Drug-Coated Angio. Sculpt? • Results with drug-coated POBA (e. g. , Paccocath) are very promising • May be able to deliver drug more effectively with a scoring element • Better acute luminal results with Angio. Sculpt compared to POBA • More optimal re-expansion of original stent in ISR treatment • Lower rate of dissection with Angio. Sculpt compared to POBA • Minimal slippage or “geographic miss” with Angio. Sculpt • May be able to avoid adjunctive stenting All of the above may allow a drug-coated Angio. Sculpt to provide “stand alone” therapy for a wide range of coronary and peripheral arterial lesions with a significantly lower restenosis rate than POBA or allow the use of BMS/BVS rather than DES
CRT 2013 Drug Coating Development • Earlier collaboration with Elazer Edelman at MIT & Renu Virmani at CV Path using paclitaxel without carrier • Current collaboration using paclitaxel with excipients Paclitaxel-Coated Angio. Sculpt (SEM)
CRT 2013 Paclitaxel-Coated Angio. Sculpt
CRT 2013 Pre-Clinical Studies: Pharmaco-Kinetics Porcine coronary overstretch model (8 pigs, 24 vessels) Coatings: non-polymers used in other intra-vascular clinical applications Dose of paclitaxel: 3 µgm/mm 2 (similar to Paccocath) Angio. Sculpt 3. 5 x 20 mm balloons used without stents Loss of drug during transit was low (2 -15%, depending on coating) 8 -11% of initial drug was delivered to vessel wall acutely (@ 10 -30’ posttreatment) during 60 second inflation Residual drug on Angio. Sculpt was 11 -18%, depending on coating

CRT 2013 Conclusions: Drug-Coated Angio. Sculpt Coating an Angio. Sculpt with paclitaxel is technically feasible Use of specific excipients in the coating is essential to provide the correct device-drug adhesiveness, release characteristics and tissue pharmaco-kinetics Animal studies demonstrate that a drug-coated Angio. Sculpt is at least as effective as the clinically proven Paccocath for inhibiting neo-intimal proliferation post-stenting A wide range of drug dosages is associated with safety & efficacy No evidence of local drug/carrier toxicity or adverse myocardial effects (EF, histopathology)
