Lutonix: The Science
Anatomy of Drug Coated Balloon Drug • All DCBs use Paclitaxel • Paclitaxel can differ from DCB to DCB: • Crystalline • Amorphous Carrier • Important to bind paclitaxel to the balloon • Differs from manufacturer to manufacturer COATING • KEY FEATURES: ü Drug Uniformity ü Drug Retention ü Drug Release 4
LUTONIX® DCB Formulation • Result of extensive development and rigorous testing • 45 pre-clinical studies • >11, 000 histology samples • Resulted in an optimized formulation with a therapeutic dose of 2 µg/mm 2 5
Lutonix: The Technology
Lutonix Coating: Drug Uniformity Coating Uniformity Analysis* Segment-to-Segment Variability ± 4. 0% Longitudinal Segment Variability ± 2. 7% *Consistent variance across all Lutonix balloons 7
Lutonix Coating: Drug Release In Vivo Administration of Fluorescent-Labeled PTX to Excised Porcine Artery 10% Oregon green labeled paclitaxel incorporated into Lutonix ® DCB coating Uniform Delivery in vivo at 1 hour (Animal vessel cross section after 30 sec. inflation) Lutonix coating uniformity allows uniform drug delivery Preclinical animal data on file. Animal test results may not be indicative of clinical performance. Different test methods may yield different results. 8

Effectiveness Without Compromising Safety • Levant 2 demonstrated superior patency for Lutonix DCB against PTA – 29. 4% Improved patency over PTA – Lutonix DCB effective in challenging patient population – TLR rates of 89% consistent in both Clinical Trial and Real. World Registry • Levant 2 demonstrated safety of Lutonix DCB – Low rates of re-intervention for thrombosis and embolism – No unanticipated safety events in over 1000 patients** • Patients who received Lutonix DCB reported Clinical Benefits in Levant 2 – Sustained improvement in Rutherford Class – Improvement in self-reported Walking Distance scores 31
Lessons Learned from Levant 2 • Levant 2 - rigorous trial w/ rapid enrollment • Good PTA technique improved PTA results • DCB can be done with LOW bailout stent rates with “stent-like” freedom from TLR • DCB’s should be sized ≥ 1: 1 for ↑ results • Good DCB technique (incl. no geographic miss) is important for optimal results • DCB’s: > results, = safety c/w PTA- all pts
