`

`Background (1)
`
`• In the PARTNER I randomized trials, patients with
`symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, treated using the
`balloon-expandable SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve
`system, had reduced mortality compared with standard
`therapy in patients who could not undergo surgery
`(“inoperable”) and had similar mortality compared to
`surgical AVR in patients who were at high-risk for surgery.
`
`Page 03 of 42
`
`

`

`Background (2)
`
`• However, SAPIEN was associated with peri-procedural
`complications, including strokes, vascular events, and
`paravalvular regurgitation.
`
`• The new lower-profile SAPIEN XT, currently in general
`clinical use around the world, incorporates important
`enhancements to the valve support frame, the valve
`leaflet geometry, and the delivery system which may be
`associated with improved clinical outcomes.
`
`Page 04 of 42
`
`

`

`Purpose of PARTNER II
`Inoperable Cohort
`
`• To compare the safety and effectiveness of the new
`SAPIEN XT versus the FDA-approved SAPIEN in a
`randomized controlled trial for patients with symptomatic
`severe aortic stenosis who cannot have surgery
`(“inoperable”).
`
`
`• To apply rigorous clinical trial methodologies including
`systematic serial neurologic assessments and VARC 2
`definitions* for clinical outcomes.

`Primary Endpoint
`
`• A non-hierarchical composite of all-cause mortality,
`disabling stroke*, and re-hospitalization for symptoms
`of aortic stenosis and/or complications of the valve
`procedure.

`
`• Intention-to-treat population, all patients followed for at
`least one year, non-inferiority trial arm comparison.
`
`* Disabling stroke = CEC adjudicated stroke event by a neurologist with a modified
` Rankin score of 2 or greater at 90-day evaluation

`Study Methodology
`
`• Every case reviewed by web-based conference call
`before enrollment
`
`• All patients followed for at least one year
`
`• Primary analysis performed by intention-to-treat (ITT),
`although as-treated (AT) analyses performed when
`appropriate
`
`• Event rates as Kaplan-Meier estimates
`
`• Composite analyses pre-specified
`
`• 100% data monitoring of clinical events
`
`• All 30-day events CEC adjudicated (>99%)
`
`• 1-year primary endpoint events = CEC adjudicated (89%)

`Conclusions (1)
`
`In the inoperable cohort of the PARTNER II trial,
`comparing the SAPIEN versus the SAPIEN XT
`THV systems…
`
`• During the TAVR procedure,
`
`− SAPIENT XT treatment was associated with reductions
`in anesthesia time (p = 0.02), multiple valve implants
`(p = 0.05), aborted procedures (p = 0.06), and the
`need for IABP hemodynamic support (p = 0.06).
`
`Page 39 of 42
`
`

`

`Conclusions (2)
`
`In the inoperable cohort of the PARTNER II trial,
`comparing the SAPIEN versus the SAPIEN XT
`THV systems…
`
`• At 30 days,
`– All-cause mortality and disabling strokes were similar
`(Mortality: SAPIEN 5.1% vs. SAPIEN XT 3.5%;
`Strokes: SAPIEN 3.0% vs. SAPIEN XT 3.2%)
`– Major vascular complications were reduced after
`SAPIENT XT (from 15.5% to 9.6%, p = 0.04), including
`perforations, dissections, and hematomas
`– All other clinical endpoints were similar
`
`Page 40 of 42
`
`

`

`Conclusions (3)
`
`In the inoperable cohort of the PARTNER II trial,
`comparing the SAPIEN versus the SAPIEN XT
`THV systems…
`
`• At 1 year,
`– All-cause mortality, disabling strokes, and re-
`hospitalizations were similar, including the non-
`hierarchical composite primary endpoint
`(SAPIEN XT 33.9% vs. SAPIEN 34.7%, the
`non-inferiority p-value = 0.0034)
`– Improvement in NYHA class was similar
`– Echo valve performance (EOA and gradients) was
`similar
`
`Page 41 of 42
`
`

`

`Implications
`
`In the inoperable cohort of The PARTNER II Trial,
`the new lower profile SAPIEN XT THV system was
`associated with…
`
`
`
`• Improved procedural outcomes
`• Similar low 30-day mortality and strokes
`• Reduced vascular complications
`• Similar 1-year major clinical events and
` valve performance
`
`Therefore, SAPIEN XT represents a worthwhile
`advance with incremental clinical value and is the
`preferred balloon-expandable THV system.
