3.0 CONTRAINDICATIONS JOSTENT' The CoronaryStent Graft is contraindicated foruse in: a Patientsin whom antiplateletand/or anticoagulation therapy is contraindicated.

Patientswho arejudged to have a lesionthat prevents complete inflation ofan angioplastyballoon.

Final9 Jan 01 2 1DIP 4.0 WARNING Patients allergic to surgical stainless steel or PTFE may suffer an allergic reaction to this implant.

5.0 PRECAUTIONS (See also Individualization of Treatment) " Only physicians who have received appropriate angioplasty training should perform implantation of the stent. " Stent placement should only be performed at hospitals where emergency coronary artery bypass surgery can be readily performed. " Subsequent may require re-dilatation of the arterial segment containing the stent. The long-term outcome following repeat dilatation of coronary stents is unknown. " When multiple stents are required, stent materials should be of similar composition.

5.1 Stent Handling- Precautions " For single use only. Do not resterilizeor reuse. Note product"Use Before"date. " The JOSTENr CoronaryStent Graft is designedto be physician-mountedon a currently marketed high-pressure,non-compliant PTCA Catheter. The rated burst pressureof the catheter must be at least 14 atm, and the balloonshould displayless than 10% growth from nominaldiameter inflationpressure to rated burstpressure. Any coating,onthe delivery PTCA catheter must be removed prior to mountingthe stent. The coatinq onthe PTCA catheter is removed by gentlywiping the PTCA catheter with a compresssoaked in an alcoholsolution (e.ci 70% Ethanol).Do not manipulateor shortenthe stent. Manipulationmay cause the stentsto separate from the PTFE layer (de-laminate). The stent should be placed accuratelybetween the marker bands on the balloonand then hand-crimpedinto place and proximally, the balloon 900 startingdistally working rotating by untilthe stent is securelyfixed. Excessivemanipulation may cause dislodgment of the stent from the deliveryballoon. " Special care must be taken not to handle or in any way disruptthe stent positionon the delivery deviceafter mounting.This is most importantduring placement over the guide wire and advancementthrough the hemostasisvalve adaptorand guidingcatheter hub. " Use onlyappropriate balloon inflationmedia. Do not use air or any gas mediumto inflate the balloonas it may cause unevenexpansion and difficultyin deploymentof the stent.

5.2 Stent Placement -Precautions

Prepare and pre-inflatethe balloonprior to stent mounting,according to the manufacturersInstructions for Use. Purgethe balloonas directedfor mountingof the stent.

Implantinga stent may lead to dissectionof the vessel distaland/or proximalto the stent and may cause acute closureof the vessel requiringadditional intervention (e.g., CABG, furtherdilatation, placement of additionalstents, or other). Please refer to Table 1 for recommendedballoon lengths. The chosen diameterof the balloonshould correspondto the vessel diameter (ratio 1:1). If more then one stent is required,the distalstent shouldbe placed initially,followed by placementof the proximalstent. Stenting in this order obviatesthe need to cross the proximalstent when placingthe distal stent and reducesthe chancesfor dislodgingthe proximalstent.

Final9 Jan01 3 1;L3 Do not expand the stent if it is not properly positioned in the vessel (See Stent/System Removal - Precautions) 0 Placement of the stent will compromise side branch patency.

Balloon pressures should be monitored during inflation. Do not exceed rated burst pressure as indicated on product label. Use of pressures higher than specified on the product label may possibly result in a ruptured balloon and potential intimal damage and dissection. Do not attempt to pull an unexpanded stent back through the guiding catheter; dislodgment of the stent from the balloon may occur. (See Stent/System Removal -Precautions) Stent retrieval methods (use of additional wires, snares, and/or forceps) may result in additional trauma to the vascular access site. Complications may include bleeding, hematoma, or pseucloaneurysm.

5.3 StentlSystem Removal - Precautions Should unusual resistancebe felt at any time, either duringlesion access or duringremoval of the Stent Delivery System post-stentimplantation, the Stent Delivery System and guidingcatheter should be removed as a single unit. This must be done under directvisualization of fluoroscopy. When removing the Delivery System as a single unit. It's recommendedmaintaining guidewire placement across the lesion and carefullypulling back the Stent Delivery System untilthe proximalballoon marker of the Stent Delivery System is alignedwith the distaltip of the guidingcatheter. Do not pull the Stent Delivery System into the guiding catheter. The guidingcatheter and StentDelivery system shouldbe carefullyremoved from the coronaryartery as a single unit. The system shouldbe pulled back into the descendingaorta toward the arterialsheath. As the distalend of the guidingcatheter enters intothe arterialsheath, the catheter will straightenallowing safe withdrawalof the Stent Delivery System intothe guidingcatheter and the subsequentremoval of the Stent Delivery Systemfrom the arterialsheath. Failureto followthese steps and / or applyingexcessive force to the Stent Delivery System can potentiallyresult in loss or damage to the stent or Stent Delivery System components such as the balloon. If it is necessaryto retainguide wire positionfor subsequentartery / lesion access, leave the guide wire in place and remove all the other components.

5.4 Post-Stent Placement - Precautions Care must be exercisedwhen crossinga newlydeployed stent with an intravascular ultrasound(IVUS), or a coronaryguidewire, or ballooncatheter, to avoiddisrupting the stent geometry. Do not performMagnetic Resonance Imaging(MR]) scan on patients post-stentimplantation untilthe stent has been completelyendothelialized (eight weeks)to minimizethe potentialfor migration. The stent may cause artifactsin MRI scans due to distortionof the magneticfield.

Final9 Jan 01 4 '2ý4 6.0 ADVERSE EVENTS Data were collectedfrom a total of 41 patients in a multi-center,retrospective analysis of use of JOSTENT* the CoronaryStent Graft to treat perforations. These patientsform the basis of the observedevents reported (See ClinicalStudies).

7.4 Conclusions JOSTENTO The clinicaldata from a small retrospective suggestthat the CoronaryStent study JOSTENTO Graft can safely be deployed in coronaryarteries to seal free perforations. Use of the CoronaryStent Graft is not associatedwith increased riskscompared to conventionaltreatment of perforations. 8.0 INDIVIDUALIZATION OF TREATMENT The risks and benefitsdescribed above should be carefullyconsidered for each patient before JOSTENT9 use of the CoronaryStent Graft. Patient selectionfactors to be assessedshould includea judgment regardingrisk of prolongedanticoagulation. Stenting is generally avoided in those patientsat heightenedrisk of bleeding(e.g. those patientswith recentlyactive gastritisor pepticulcer disease).

8.1 Use in Special populations The effectiveness of this device for any use has not been demonstrated. The JOSTENT9 safety of the CoronaryStent Graft has not been establishedfor patientswith any of the followingcharacteristics: " Patientswith unresolved vessel thrombus at the lesion site. " Patientswith coronaryartery reference vessel diameters <2.75 mm. " Patientswith lesions located in the unprotectedleft main coronaryartery, ostial lesions,or lesions locatedat a bifurcation. " Patientswith diffusedisease of poor outflow distal to the identifiedlesions. " Patients with recentacute where there is evidence of thrombusor poorflow. " Patients with more than two overlapping stents due to risk of thrombusor poorflow. The safety and effectivenessof using mechanicalatherectomy devices, (directionalatherectomy ,rotational atherectomy catheters), or laser angioplastycatheters to treat in-stent stenosishas not been established.

Final9 Jan 01 9 8a To verify adherence, hold the catheter and attempt to dislodge the stent from the balloon using the thumb and index finger. 8b Visually inspect the stent to ensure that it is centered on the balloon and that the stent struts are not protruding away from the balloon. If there are any protruding struts, the stent. If the protruding struts remain or the stent is kinked,DO NOT attemptre-crimp to use the stent. 9 Release the negative pressure to the balloon. 10 Detach syringe and leave a meniscus of mixture on the hub of the balloon lumen. 11 Prepare inflation device in standard manner and purge to remove all air from syringe and tubing._ 12 Attach inflation device to balloon directly insuring no bubbles remain at connection. 13 Leave on ambient pressure (neutral position). Note: Do not pull negative pressure on inflation device after balloon preparation and prior to delivering the stent. 14 Moisten the stent with heparinized saline by submerging the stent into a sterile bowl containing the solution, Note: Do not use gauze sponges to wipe down the stent as fibers may disrupt the stent. 15 Visually inspect the stent to insure the stent is place within the area of the proximal and distal balloon markers. 16 Check the integrity of the stent attachment on the delivery system by gently running the stent segment through the thumb and finger. If not intact, contact your JOSTENr Coronary tent Graft Representativeand return the unused deviceto JOMED5.

10.4 Delivery Procedure

Step Action 1 _ Prepare vascular access site accordingto standard PTCA practice. 2 Maintain neutralpressure on inflationdevice. Open rotatinghemostatic valve to allow for easy p ssage of the stent. 3 Ensure guidingcatheter stabilitybefore advancingthe stent delivery system intothe coronaryartery. 4 Carefullyadvance the stent deliverysystem intothe hub of the guidingcatheter. 5 Note: If physicianencounters resistance to the stent delivery system prior to exiting the guidingcatheter, do not force passage. Resistancemay indicatea problemand may result in damage to the stent if it is forced. Maintainguidewire placement across the lesion and remove the stentdelivery systemas a single unit. (See Section5.3 Removal- Precautions.) -Stent/System 6 Advance deliverysystem overthe guide wire to the target lesionunder direct fluoroscopicvisualization. Utilize the proximaland distal radiopaquemarkers on the balloonas a referencepoint. If the positionof the stent is not optimal, it shouldbe carefullyrepositioned or removed. (See Section5.3 - Stent/SystemRemoval Expansionof the stent should not be undertakenif the stent is not-Precautions.) properlypositioned in the target lesion segmentof the vessel. 7 Optimal stent placement requiresthe distal end of the stent to be placed approximately 1 mm bey nd the distalend of the lesion. 8 __Sufficiently tighten the rotatinghemostatic valve. Stent is now ready to be deployed.

10.5 Deployment Procedure

Step Action 1 Gently deploy the stent by slowly inflatingthe balloonto a minimumof 14 atm to expand the stent. Note: Refer to balloon catheterlabeling and Table 1 for the proper inflationpressure. Do not exceed Rated BurstPressure or expand stent beyond5.0 mm. 2 Maintain inflationpressure for 15-30 secondsfor full expansionof the stent. 3 Note: Under-expansionof the stent may resultin stent movement. Care must be taken to properlysize the stent to ensure the stent is in full contactwith the arterialwall upon deflat on of the deliverysystem balloon. Final9 Jan 01 10 .30 10.6 Removal Procedure

Step Action 1 Deflate the balloon by pullingnegative pressure on the inflationdevice. Allow adequate time, at least 15 seconds,for full balloondeflation. Longer balloonsmay require rn re time for deflation. 2 Fullyopen the hemostaticvalve. 3 Maintain positionof guidingcatheter and guidewireto prevent it from being drawn into vessel. Very slowly,withdraw the balloonfrom the stent maintainingnegative suction, allowingmovement of the myocardiumto gently dislodgethe balloonfrom stent. 4 Tightenthe hemostaticvalve. 5 Repeat angiographyand visuallyassess the vessel and the stent for proper expansion. Note: The use of IVUS is stronglyrecommended to ensure complete appositionof the stent graftto the vessel wall. 6 A secondballoon inflation may be requiredto insureoptimal stent expansion. In such instances,a non-compliant,high-pressure balloon of adequate size (the same size as the stent deliverysystem balloonor larger) and length may be usedto accomplishthis. Note: In smaller or diffuselydiseased vessels, the use of high ballooninflation pressuresmay over-expandthe vessel distalto the stent and could resultin vessel dissection. 7 The final internalstent diameter shouldbe equalto or slightlylarger than the proximal and distal referencevessel diameters. 8 Repeat angiographyand, if possible,IVUS, to evaluateand determine procedure statusor termination. Note: Should the need arise for placementof a secondstent to adequatelycover the perforationlength, placement of the stent most distalin the artery should be done prior o placem nt of the proximalstent, if possible. 9 Note: Observationof the patient and angiographicevaluation of the stent site should be performedperiodically within the first 30 minutesafter stent placement
