Portico Design Features Stent retainer tabs Leaflet commissure attachments Bovine pericardial leaflets Porcine pericardial skirt Inflow cut-outs Rounded inflow edges Outflow view
Portico Valve Design Features Both leaflets and cuff are treated with LinxTM AC treatment* Same anticalcification technology used on Epic and Trifecta surgical valves Nonflared annulus section of the stent Portico 23 mm Valve *There is no clinical data currently available that evaluates the long-term impact of anticalcification tissue treatment in humans.

Stent Design: Large Cell Geometry Large stent cells in the aortic section of the stent, allows access to coronary ostia post-implant Aortic Section Annulus Section Manoharan, G., St. Jude Medical Portico™ Transcatheter Aortic Valve Clinical Experience, EuroPCR, 05/17/2012.
Stent Design: Large Cell Geometry Large stent cells within annulus section of the stent Less metal Minimizes risk of stent strut resting against a calcific nodule More tissue Allows for tissue to conform around calcific nodules Calcific nodules
Calcific Nodule Simulation Three randomly placed nodules simulate calcification within the native aortic annulus Large cell geometry allows cuff tissue to conform around calcific nodules Calcific Nodules Potential area for PV Leak jet Speakers Notes: * This is bench testing data where three randomly placed nodules simulate calcification within the native aortic annulus. * The large cell design in the annulus section of the Portico stent allows the cuff tissue to conform around calcific nodules, minimizing the risk of PV leak. Note: Irregular “D” shape of stent Calcific Nodules Portico CoreValve
Portico: Intra-annular Placement Conformable stent frame adapts to anatomical variations and annulus calcification Leaflet geometry designed to optimally function in both round and ellipse configurations Leaflets function at partial deployment allowing for a gradual, controlled deployment while avoiding hemodynamic instability MDCT 3-dimensional reconstruction of Portico valve Speakes Notes; Portico’s conformable stent frame adapts to anatomical variations The leaflet geometry is designed to function in both round and ellipse configurations The leaflets function at partial deployment allowing for gradual, controlled deployment wile avoiding hemodynamic instability Stent eccentricity at (C) inflow level, (D) valvular level and (E) outflow level Willson A, et al.

Portico™ Transcatheter Aortic Valve Portico is designed for leaflet coaptation in round and elliptical annulus configurations In-vitro testing over the valve’s use range, and in various annulus configurations to assess durability and hydrodynamic performance Circular Configuration Elliptical Configuration The Portico system is not available for sale.
Resheathing and Repositioning Feature The unique valve and delivery system design of Portico allows the ability to fully resheath* the valve: Reposition proximally or distally*, in situ Retrieve* the valve, if necessary Resheathability is designed to enable optimized valve positioning during implantation *Until fully deployed Speaker’s notes: It is not just the valve, or the delivery system design that allows for Portico’s resheathing feature. Design elements of both the valve and delivery system provide the ability for the valve to be completely resheathed within the delivery catheter.
