  3. Background: LEADERS at 1-Year • Comparison of BES with biodegradable polymer to SES with durable polymer resulted in: • Non-inferior MACE rate at 9 months (primary endpoint met: 9.2% BES vs. 10.5% SES, Pnon-inf =0.003)* • Non-inferiority in MACE confirmed at 12 months (10.7% BES vs. 12.1% SES, Pnon-inf <0.001) • BES showed superior strut coverage and stent apposition at 9 months in OCT sub-analysis • Similar rates of stent thrombosis (ARC definition) at 12 months • Two year clinical outcomes have not yet been reported *Windecker S et al. THE LANCET 2008; 372 No 9644: 1163-1173

  4. Biolimus-A9™ Eluting Stent Biolimus is a semi-synthetic sirolimus analogue with 10x higher lipophilicity and similar potency as sirolimus. Biolimus is immersed at a concentration of 15.6 g/mm into a biodegradable polymer, polylactic acid, and applied solely to the abluminal stent surface by a fully automated process. Polylactic acid is co-released with biolimus and completely desolves into carbon dioxide and water after 6-9 months. The stainless steel stent platform has a strut thickness of 112 m with a quadrature link design.

  20. Conclusions Overall population Non-inferiority of BES vs SES in an all-comers population was sustained up to 2 years In the overall LEADERS population there were similar outcomes for BES and SES with respect to: MACE - BES:13% vs SES: 15.4% (PSup= 0.18) Cardiac Death/MI - BES: 8.3% vs SES: 9.1% (PSup= 0.59) Clinically indicated TVR – BES:7.7% vs SES:8.8% (PSup=0.37)

  21. Conclusions Subgroup analysis STEMI patients improved rate of MACE with BES compared to SES (8.1% vs 19.3% Psup< 0.01) Very Late Stent Thrombosis Although this was an all-comers study, very late stent thrombosis events were rare (BES 0.2% vs SES 0.5% PSup= 0.73) There were no VLST events in BES patients following discontinuation of DAPT
