ETAPBackground • The popliteal artery is considered as a “no-stent”-zone due to potential excessive external forces applied to the stent in the popliteal fossa • No prospective comparative controlled trials have yet investigated the performance of stents in the popliteal artery to date • The ETAP trial is the first in man trial comparing primary stenting using a contemporary nitinol stent device (Lifestent) with the current “gold standard” POBA

ETAPKey Features • Investigator initiated European prospective, randomized controlled multi-center trial (9 centers) • Unrestricted grant by C.R. BARD-Angiomed • Independent data management, corelab adjudication • Study Design: • 1:1 randomization POBA with provisional stenting vs. primary stenting (Lifestent) in popliteal artery disease • Patient cohort: • 246 patients • Patients with chronic PAD RCC 1-4 • No restrictions in lesion length
ETAPStudy Endpoints Primary Endpoint • Restenosis rate at 12 months (duplex PSVR > 2.4) Secondary Endpoints (6,12 & 24 months) • Restenosis rate (PSVR > 2.4) • Restenosis rate (PSVR > 2.0) • Primary patency rate • Secondary patency rate • Clinically driven TLR rate • Change in RCC • Walking distance (treadmill) • ABI • MACE • Stent fractur rate at 12 and 24 months (plain X-ray)

ETAPEvent-Free Survival (ITT)(Death, TLR, MI, amputation) P < 0.0001 (log-rank test)

ETAPInterims Analysis 1-Year Stent Fracture Rate (Corelab) *One type I & II stent fracture each
ETAPSummary • ETAP is the first controlled trial investigating the performance of POBA and primary stent placement (Lifestent) in the popliteal artery • Lifestent placement in the popliteal artery is safe • Corelab adjudicated 1-year fracture rate 3.4% • Lifestent placement results in a significant higher primary patency rate as compared to POBA • In ITT analysis no significant difference in change of Rutherford categories • In ITT significant better improvement of absolute walking distance in the stent cohort
