PCI Unmet Clinical Needs For SVG Distal embolisation No reflow High rate of restenosis For AMI / other thrombus loaded lesions Patients with DES Late ST due to incomplete endothelialization Bleeding complications due to long term Plavix use

The Evolution of Stents Bare Metal Drug Eluting 1st Generation 2nd MGuard 3rd While addressing the restenosis problem, today's stent technology overlooks the adverse effects of acute embolization

About MGuard’s Technology Micron Circular Knitting Technology Net Material: Poly Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) Fiber diameter: 20 μm Aperture size at expanded state: ~180μm X 200μm System profile - 1.3mm Net secured to the distal and proximal end of the stent

About MGuard’s Technology The stent is wrapped with the ultra-thin polymer meshed net The net is designed for maximal flexibility without compromising the strength of the fiber The net expands seamlessly when the stent is deployed

About MGuard’s Clinical Benefits MGuard is designed to Trap thrombotic material to protect bloodstream from embolic debris Reduce vessel injury and restenosis rate Maintain standard procedure Injury lowered by MGuard

About MGuard’s Clinical Benefits MGuard Lifelong Embolic Protection MGuard blocks embolic showers and plaque detachment from the arterial wall, blocking debris at the source during and post procedure. MGuard addresses the risk of suboptimal perfusion and no-reflow in occluded lesions.

About MGuard’s Clinical Benefits Lower arterial wall trauma MGuard’s net diffuses the stent pressure, creating a snow shoe effect to lower vessel trauma and injury*. This leads to a reduction in restenosis compared to BMS**.

About MGuard’s Clinical Benefits Maintaining standard procedure MGuard’s standard crossing profile and dilatation pressures make deliverability and deployment equivalent to a conventional balloon inflated stent.

FIM Clinical Results Protocol amended to obtain long term (> 1y) results – Results expected by April 2009

Case Report #1 - MGuard in SVG 78 year old female with history of hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, smoking and diabetes. Coronary artery bypass surgery in 1993 and presented with progressive angina (CCS-III). Coronary angiography revealed subtotal occluded (99%) vein graft to the Right Coronary Artery. 2 MGuard stents were implanted Procedural success with: No clinical adverse events No CPK rise No no-reflow post PCI

Case Report #1 - MGuard in SVG Pre-PCI POST MGuard

Case Report #2 - MGuard in SVG with IVUS 60 year old male Proximal SVG (1995) lesion 4mm lumen diameter 80% stenosis 4X15 MGuard stent 6 months No ISA; % St obstruction = 17% Baseline No ISA; St expansion= 98.9%

Case Report #3 - MGuard in Acute MI Totally Occluded LAD The Thrombus Visible

Case Report #3 - MGuard in Acute MI Final Result The procedure was completed with optimal results and an absence of any angiographic complications.
