Regulatory Processes: EU Byrne et al., ESC-EAPCI Stent Task Force | Eur Heart J 2015
EC Guidance Documents The only medical device-specific directive in Europe
Problems with the current EU system Need for a more systematic and thorough evaluation of medical devices before CE-approval Poor transparency in relation to the basis on which Notified Bodies evaluate and recommend approval of medical devices Potential disconnect between the two agencies involved in regulation – Competent Authorities and Notified Body Uncertain requirements for post-market surveillance

Work of the Task Force (2) ESC-EAPCI Task Force on Evaluation of Scaffolds As basis for its report, the Task Force: Reviewed rationale and unmet need for BRS Established a comprehensive list of all BRS with CE mark or in clinical testing Undertook a systematic review of the literature of all published RCTs evaluating BRS up to 10/2016 Invited PIs of ongoing RCTs to share data with NDA Provided proposals for evaluation and approval of BRS

Clinical Evaluation Plan for Scaffolds Byrne et al., ESC-EAPCI Task Force on BRS | Eur Heart J & EuroIntervention 2017 online
Recommendations for Clinical Use of BRS 1. Until concerns re. late performance can be assuaged, current generation polymeric BRS should not be preferred to DES in routine practice Patients already treated with polymeric BRS should be considered for prolonged DAPT (out to the time of reabsorption?) There is insufficient data to make any recommendations on Mg-alloy BRS at present and further study is required 2. 3.

Lessons learned so far Provision of this type of expert advice on medical device to EC is feasible but time intensive and requires support Interaction with regulators facilitated by ESC was valuable and many of TF recommendation were incorporated into draft guidance documents Work of TF on coronary stents/scaffolds might serve as a pilot project for future endeavours
