DCB Peripheral Market / Data Overview Why the Enthusiasm Est Peripheral DCB Market Size and Growth • If proven successful, DCB could represent largest new market in peripheral space • Early studies demonstrate reduction in restenosis without need for permanent implant but these are in short lesions • Applicability may be as a stand alone therapy in type A and B lesions or as adjunctive to BMS in type C and D lesions Six month Late Loss Twenty four month TVR (Thunder)

DCB Summary The data to support the use of DEB in the periphery for SFA and tibial disease is limited Long DCB balloons for the SFA may result with spill large doses of drug to the blood stream, could be toxic. The coating and particulates on the balloon are not stable and may clogged distal vessels Crossover to stent after balloon is risky and may associate with increase risk of stent thrombosis DCB and BMS associated with high rates of stent thrombosis, there are healing issues Regulatory requirements for combination therapy in the US are challenging
DCB is it disruptive technology? “Am I the smart one and you’re the pretty one or is it the other way around? ”

Future of DES DCB? • 2 out of 3 DES studies in the SFA failed (sirocco, stride) • 1 DES (Zilver. PTX) since September 2009 has CE-mark Ø DES for SFA is challenging combination device Ø It is imperative that the stent platform will be fracture free. Ø With higher Patentcy rates DES should replace BMS in the periphery Ø DCB technology emerged as a potential alternative to balloon in SFA and tibial indication k n a u o Y Th Ø The next wave of studies should be DCB vs DES Ø The future holds for both technologies if they will continue to provide supportive data and superiority in efficacy without compromising safety when compared to BMS and PTA alone
