DES Polymer Considerations
• Provide a mechanically stable matrix for the drug
• Modulate drug release into the vessel wall
• Polymer remaining after drug release has no function
• All polymer coatings have the potential to be damaged
• Permanent polymers are permanent
What is the purpose of a DES polymer?
What happens after drug release?
Clinical Implications
• Late / very late events
• Chronic inflammation with neoathersclerosis
• Constant irritant may lead to late restenosis

SYNERGY™ Stent 1 month DAPT labelling update now CE marked
Physicians should use the information from the large body of clinical evidence for everolimus drug eluting stents,
coupled with current literature on drug-eluting stents, current European Society of cardiology recommendation or
other applicable country guidelines and the specific needs of the individual patient to determine the specific
antiplatelet / anticoagulation regimen to be used for their patients in general practice.
It is very important that the patient be compliant with post-procedural antiplatelet recommendations given by their
physician. In selected higher risk patients where the physician determines that the risks outweigh the benefits of
continued DAPT, it may be reasonable to interrupt or discontinue therapy after 1 month based on low stent
thrombosis rates and no observed increased risk for stent thrombosis as shown in the current literature. Patients
who require premature discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy should be monitored closely and have their
antiplatelet therapy restarted as soon as possible per the discretion of their treating physician.
Individualisation of Patient Treatment
The device carries an associated risk of acute, sub-acute or late thrombosis, vascular
complications, and/or bleeding events. Therefore, patients should be carefully
selected, and a P2Y12 inhibitor (i.e., clopidogrel, ticlopidine, prasugrel, or ticagrelor)
must be prescribed post procedure to reduce the risk of stent thrombosis. Aspirin
must be administered concomitantly with the P2Y12 inhibitor, and then continued
indefinitely to further reduce the risk of thrombosis.
Antiplatelet drugs should be used in combination with SYNERGY which is designed
with a low initial polymer load, abluminal coating and bioabsorbable polymer which
may reduce the risk of thrombosis and the need for prolonger dual antiplatelet
therapy.
^ The updated Directions for Use will also include an update on the current “Pre-and Post-Procedure Antiplatelet Regimen”:
In selected higher risk patients where the physician determines that the risks outweigh the benefits of continued DAPT, it may be reasonable to interrupt or discontinue therapy after 1
month based on low stent thrombosis rates and no observed increased risk for stent thrombosis as shown in the current literature. Patients who require premature discontinuation of
antiplatelet therapy should be monitored closely and have their antiplatelet therapy restarted as soon as possible per the discretion of their treating physicians

Pre- and Post-procedure DAPT Labeling
*From respective products’ DFUs. Indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and instructions for use can be found in the product labeling supplied with each device. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Absorb™ BVS
“Antiplatelet drugs should be used in combination with
the Absorb BVS. Physicians should use the information
from the SPIRIT Clinical trials and the ABSORB trials,
coupled with the current literature on drug-eluting stents
/scaffolds and the specific needs of the individual
patients, to determine the specific
antiplatelet/anticoagulation dose and duration to be used
for their patients in general practice. A minimum of 6
months duration is recommended.”
BioMatrix Flex™ Stent
“Clopidogrel is required for a minimum of 6 months and
strongly recommended for 12 months in patients who are
not at high risk of bleeding per the ACC/AHA/SCAI 2005
Guideline Update for Percutaneous Coronary
Intervention. Acetylsalicylic acid is to be administered
indefinitely to reduce the risk of thrombosis.”
Orsiro™ Stent
“It is very important that the patient is compliant with the
post procedure antiplatelet recommendation.
Premature discontinuation of prescribed antiplatelet
medication could result in a higher risk of thrombosis,
myocardial infarction or death.”
Nobori™ Stent
“Judicious selection of patients is necessary since the
use of this device carries the associated risk of sub-
acute thrombosis, vascular complications and/or
bleeding events. Hence patients should be maintained
on clinically adequate post-procedural antiplatelet
therapy (aspirin and thienopyridine, or other
appropriate antiplatelet agents).”
The SYNERGY™ Stent is the only bioabsorbable
polymer coated stent with 1-month DAPT labeling*

Survey of ICs support SYNERGY™ Stent showing operational efficiencies
1. Data on File at Boston Scientific. 26 total respondents identified themselves as SYNERGY users from Europe. Based on their experience, they estimated that SYNERGY’S visibility and
deliverability reduced contrast used in a typical PCI compared to other non-PtCr stents by an average of 10%. Average is all users.
2. Data on File at Boston Scientific; 26 total users identified themselves as SYNERGY users from Europe. Based on their experience, we asked “In the last 90 days, has SYNERGY’s deliverability
allowed you to treat additional cases with PCI where the patient would have otherwise gone to surgery or medical management?” We then asked them to quantify by asking: “How many additional
cases in the last 90 days has SYNERGY’s deliverability allowed you to treat with PCI where the patient would have otherwise gone to surgery or medical management?“ The average was 5.2
cases in the past 90 days.
3. Data on File at Boston Scientific. 26 total users identified themselves as SYNERGY users from Europe. Based on their experience, they estimated that SYNERGY’s visibility and deliverability
reduced radiation exposure to the patient and staff in a typical PCI compared to other non-PtCr stents by an average of 2.5 minutes of all users.
4. US IC Blinded Product Perception survey (62 ICs), Increased stent visibility was estimated to decrease stent usage by 14% and balloon usage by 18% during a typical PCI and 5 minutes less
procedure time in IC Perception survey; 95% (59/62) identified the PtCr stent as the most visible.

Cardiac Biomarkers Background
Description
CK
(Creatine Kinase)
Enzyme found in both cardiac and skeletal muscle
Release into blood signifies muscle damage and cell death
Elevations can signify injury to cardiac muscle or skeletal muscle
CK-MB
(Creatine Kinase-
Myocardial Band)
Found to a much greater extent in cardiac muscle compared to skeletal muscle
Elevations suggestive of injury to cardiac muscle
Very sensitive for detecting MI (though not as sensitive as troponin)
Small elevations following PCI may have little clinical significance
Cardiac
Troponin
Cardiac troponin I or T are frequently measured
These proteins are essentially found only in cardiac muscle
Most sensitive markers of MI
Small elevations following PCI may have little clinical significance
Several Different Biomarkers Can Be Used to Detect Myocardial Damage
This material is not for use in the U.S., France or Japan. IC-215308-AG OCT2015 79 of 84
The EVOLVE definitions for MI were as follows:
• Myocardial infarction was defined as either the development of new pathological Q waves in 2 leads (duration 0.04 s) with
elevated levels of creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) or troponin; or, in the absence of new Q waves
• Elevation of CK 3 times normal (periprocedural MI, occurring within 48 h of the procedure) or 2 times normal
(spontaneous MI) with elevated CK-MB, or troponin 3 times normal (periprocedural MI) or 2 times normal (spontaneous MI),
plus any 1 of the following: 1) electrocardiographic changes indicative of new ischemia (new ST-T changes or left bundle
branch block); 2) imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium; or 3) new regional wall motion abnormality.
The EVOLVE II definitions for MI were mandated by the FDA and are as follows:
• Per protocol spontaneous MI is defined as rise and/or fall of cardiac biomarkers with ≥1 value >99th percentile of the URL +
evidence of myocardial ischemia.
• Peri‐PCI MI is defined as ≥1 of the following: i) biomarker elevations of CK-MB >3x URL within 48 hours of PCI, ii) new
pathological Q waves, or iii) autopsy evidence of acute MI
EVOLVE and EVOLVE II Trial Complete MI Definitions
The MI rate in the EVOLVE II Study based on the study’s MI definitions was 4.7% for PROMUS Element™
Stent and 4.3% for the SYNERGY™ Stent. Most MIs were peri-procedural Non-Q-wave events utilizing this
more sensitive MI definition, and there were no additional clinical sequelae in these patients through 30
days follow-up.

Majority of Target Vessel MI was attributed to Peri-procedural NQWMI
• The EVOLVE II Clinical Trial
utilized a more sensitive MI
definition1 relying principally
on a cutoff of CK-MB > 3x
ULN
• This definition detected mild
periprocedural elevations -
generally not considered
clinically significant
• The trial patient population
included:
• 25% NSTEMI patients
• >75% B2/C lesions
• Even in this complex patient
population, both products
