199
6mFU, LLL 0.42mm, MACE 13.2%
Stenting of small vessel with Cobalt Chromium Stent is safe. Good results with excelent late lumen loss
7
Cobalt Chromium Stent PIPA Study MC-Registry
Garcia E 2004 (Presentation) - PIPA Results
512
6mFU, MACE 5.4%
Very good short and midterm results in the treatment of lesions in small vessels
8
Cobalt Chromium Stent PIVER Study SC-Registry
Lefebvre et al 2004 (Cardiology) - Primary Results of PIVER (CoCr Small Vessel Registry)
71
1mFU, MACE 8.6%
PIVER indicate a very high success level in the difficult treatment of small vessels

Early evidence in safety and efficacy of Paclitaxel Drug Eluting Stent at 6 months follow up
10
Paclitaxel Drug Eluting Stent ELITE Study MC-Registry
Glogar 2010 (Cardiology Int) - ELITE Registry Europe - non randomized multi-centre study
377
2yFU, TVR 7.8%
Paclitaxel Drug Eluting Stent is safe and effective. Superior to Taxus in historical comparison
11
MR Stent MR-MP Study SC-RCT
Wessely R et al 2007 (E Heart J) - Randomized Trial Rapamycin vs Paclitaxel Eluting Stent
91
9mFU, LLL 0.33mm vs 0.96mm, TLR 8.7% vs 26.7%, ST 0%
Both stent platforms proved safe. Rapamycin is more effective than Paclitaxel
12
MR Stent MASTER Study SC-Registry
Mehilli J., Kastrati A. 2010 (Final Report) - MASTER Study Two Year Results (Itrix vs Cypher)
224
2yFU, ST 0%, MACE 20.5%
The stent has an excellent safety and efficacy profile. Both lack of stent thrombosis and lack of late restenosis catch-up may suggest a benefit with this platform
13

Device/Study
Balloon Expandable Peripheral Inert Stent
Report/Publication
Principal Investigator - Ivo Petrov, UH St. Ekaterina, Sofia, Bulgaria, 2003
Patients
94
Outcome
Overall restenosis 12.7%, 7.8% for locations without mechanical stress, TVR 8.5%

Self-expanding peripheral stent POLARIS
MQ3 POLARIS REGISTRY Principal Investigator – Dr. Hans Krankenberg MD
95
Acute procedural success (≤30% stenosis and the absence of floe limiting dissection or major adverse events within 72 h of the index procedure, Peripheral Academic Research Consortium (PARC) (1) was achieved in 93.7% (74/79) of the patients, and procedural success (increase in ankle brachial index ≥0.1 from baseline) at 30 days in 86.2% (56/65). Averaged symptom classification changed from Rutherford category 2.8 at baseline to 0.3 at 30 days
We preliminarily conclude that the treatment of superficial femoral artery lesions with the POLARIS stent system in a real world setting is effective up to 30 days. So far, no safety concerns were raised
