Study Design DAART* DCB Purpose: Pilot study designed to assess and estimate the effect of treating a vessel with directional atherectomy + DCB (DAART) compared to treatment with DCB alone General and Angiographic Criteria Assessment Lesion severely calcified? Guidewire passage, enrollment & Randomization DAART* (N = 48) DCB (N = 54) Guidewire Passage & Enrollment (N=19) No Yes Yes Severe Calcification: Dense circumferential calcification and calcification extending more than five (5) continuous centimeters of length prior to contrast injection or digital subtraction angiography There was 6 month lag in ca++ arm due to prolonged enrollment period. Acute results from the ca++ arm will be presented soon. The sample size difference between groups is attributed to the blocked randomized trial design. Registry arm for severely calcified lesions created to limit bail-out stenting (and therefore variables) in randomized arm. * Directional Atherectomy + Anti-Restenotic Therapy SC1206092013A

Minimum Lumen Diameters DAART resulted in a significantly larger minimum lumen diameter (MLD) following the protocol-defined treatment (4.27 mm vs. 3.78 mm, P = 0.045) P = 0.045 MLD = 4.27 mm MLD = 3.78 mm Min. Lumen Diameter (mm) This slide shows the mean MLD at baseline and following each step of the protocol-defined procedure. DAART Arm: 8 lesions were pre-dialated DCB arm: 40 lesions were pre-dialated SC1206092013A

Conclusions Acute results of DAART treatment show: Significantly higher technical success rate (DAART 89.6% vs. DCB 64.2%, P=0.004) Acceptable periprocedural complications Significantly lower dissection rate (DAART 2% vs. DCB 19%, P = 0.009) Long-term data to determine the durability of DAART vs. DCB are necessary and forthcoming SC1206092013A
