  4. Study Design • Prospective, multicenter, unblinded, two-arm, randomized trial • Selected high-risk patients with nonSTEMI acute coronary syndromes • PCI using the BSC FilterWire EZ vs standard PCI without FilterWire EZ • 150 patient pilot for pivotal protocol • Provision for two additional cohorts • - up to 450 patients

  5. FilterWire EZ 3.5-5.5mm & 2.25-3.5mm

  6. Study Population • Non ST elevation ACS with "high risk" clinical features during 24 hours prior to angiography • elevated troponin • angina at rest • dynamic ST or T wave changes (not ST elevation MI) • Culprit lesion with "high risk" angiographic features (2 or more of the following) • intra-coronary filling deficit consistent with thrombus • lesion ulceration • eccentric shape • irregular or scalloped border • abrupt edges to the lesion • lesion length >20 mm

  7. Primary Endpoint • In-hospital MACE - death, recurrent myocardial infarction (CK-MB>3x normal), emergency CABG, repeat target vessel revascularisation

  8. Secondary Endpoints MACE at 30 days Change in CK-MB 6-24hours post-PCI Change in troponin T 6-24 hours post-PCI Device success – FilterWire EZ Incidence of embolic recovery TIMI flow post-PCI

  9. Baseline Characteristics FilterWire EZ Control Patients, n 77 74 Age, mean (sd) 58(11) 60(13) Male, % 83 89 European, % 88 88 Previous angina, % 40 42 Diabetes, % 16 26 Smoker – never, % 29 34 Hypertension, % 39 46 Dyslipidemia, % 69 62

  10. Baseline Angiographic Findings FilterWire EZ Control Reference vessel, mm 3.1(0.6) 3.1(0.6) Diameter stenosis, % 78(14) 76(12) Lesion location - RCA,LAD,LCX ,% 37,39,24 44,32,25 Lesion length, mm 15.8(7.6) 16.8(10.2) Lesion ulceration, % 5.6 11.2 Lesion calcification - mod/severe, % 29 34 TIMI III flow, % 60 67

  11. p=0.793 Primary Endpoint

  12. Secondary Endpoints FilterWire EZ Control MACE 30 day, % 12 11 Change CK-MB 5.1(20) 4.1(6) Change troponin T 0.4(0.7) 0.4(0.6) Device success, % 97 n/a Embolic recovery, % 42 n/a Post-PCI TIMI III, % 94 94

  13. Subset Analyses No difference between FilterWire EZ and control groups in: Patient treated with planned glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors Diabetic patients Patients pre-treated with clopidogrel Patients with prior thrombolytic therapy

  14. Why Was There No Benefit With FilterWire? • Wrong patho-physiology? embolism occurs during PCI for nonSTEMI - histology, thrombectomy, MRI • Wrong lesions selected? only 42% had emboli captured calcified vs thrombotic lesions • Incomplete protection? embolism with positioning the device filter mouth/ vessel wall apposition incomplete side branch protection small particle embolism • Insufficient study population? - type II error

  15. Summary • A-F is the only randomised trial of a vascular protection device undertaken in non-STEMI acute coronary syndrome patients • No difference between FilterWire EZ and control groups in in-hospital MACE or post-procedure CK-MB or troponin elevation • Routine use of vascular protection devices in such patients does not appear warranted - further angiographic analysis may reveal sub-groups at particular risk for embolism
