### IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
The warnings and precautions can be found in the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis labeling.
### V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE Device) is an extension of the GORE® EXCLUDER® product family. The previously approved GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis (EXCLUDER AAA Device) components that are used with the IBE Device include the following: Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis, Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis, Aortic Extender Endoprosthesis, and Iliac Extender Endoprosthesis, and their respective delivery systems. The Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg is intended to provide proximal seal and fixation for the endovascular repair of the aneurysm. The Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis is intended to bridge the Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis to the IBE Device. The Aortic and Iliac Extender Endoprostheses and the Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis can be used after deployment of the IBE Device and Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis. These extensions are used when additional diameter, length and / or sealing for aneurysmal exclusion is desired.
The Iliac Branch Component can treat external iliac artery diameters from 6.5 to 13.5 mm. The ability to extend the Iliac Branch Component distally with any Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis expands the external iliac artery treatment range up to 25 mm. Throughout the remainder of this document, the Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg, Contralateral Leg, and Aortic and Iliac Extender Endoprostheses are referred to as “previously approved EXCLUDER components”.
The IBE Device is intended to isolate the common iliac artery from systemic pressure and to preserve blood flow to the internal iliac artery (also known as the hypogastric artery) in patients with common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAA) and aorto-iliac aneurysms (AIA). In addition to the information that follows, reference the IBE Device Instructions for Use for additional details.

The IBE Device consists of two modular components. The two components are the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Component (IBC) and the GORE® EXCLUDER® Internal Iliac Component (IIC). The IBE Device is designed to be used in conjunction with the previously approved EXCLUDER components (Figure 1) to treat patients with CIAA or AIA. The IBC is positioned within the CIA such that the internal iliac gate is at or above the internal iliac artery (also known as the hypogastric artery) ostium. The IBC is deployed to the internal iliac gate within the CIA, and the internal iliac artery is then cannulated through the internal iliac gate. The IIC is deployed into the internal iliac gate of the IBC and extends into and seals within the internal iliac artery. The remaining portion of the IBC is then deployed to extend into and provide seal within the external iliac artery. A Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis is then deployed in the aorta, and a Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis is deployed within both the Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis contralateral gate and the proximal portion of the IBC, to seal and bridge the Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis and the IBE Device. This results in aneurysm exclusion with preservation of blood flow into the internal iliac artery.

### GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Component
The IBC (Figure 3) is similar in design, materials, and method of construction to the currently marketed 23 mm diameter GORE® EXCLUDER® Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis. As with the EXCLUDER AAA Device, the endoprosthesis is crushed into an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) / fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) sewn sleeve and loaded onto the delivery catheter. The IBC distal diameter will be available in nominal diameters of 10, 12, and 14.5 mm and will treat external iliac artery diameters of 6.5 mm-13.5 mm (3). Please note, when a Contralateral Leg component is used to extend treatment in the external iliac artery, the maximum treatable diameter increases to 25 mm. The main differences between the 23 mm EXCLUDER Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis and the IBC are 1) a shorter device and the addition of a smaller (10 mm) ipsilateral leg to better accommodate intended iliac anatomy, and 2) the removal of the anchor row and sealing cuff as proximal seal and fixation to native artery is not intended for this device.

# GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Component Delivery System
The IBC delivery system is similar in design, materials, and method of construction to the currently marketed EXCLUDER AAA Device Delivery Systems. Figure 4 shows the IBC delivery catheter, which features a removable guidewire tube (RGT) that provides pre-cannulation of the internal iliac gate of the device when cannulated with a second guidewire prior to insertion into the patient.

The IBC is deployed in two stages by actuating two dedicated deployment lines (Figure 5A). The outer knob initiates the first deployment with an ePTFE deployment line. The inner knob will not be accessible until the outer knob is removed and will be subsequently used for the second deployment. Deployment of the first knob releases the constrained endoprosthesis to the level of the hypogastric gate (Figure 5B), and the external iliac leg remains constrained on the catheter. This delivery system provides physicians with the option to rotate and distally reposition the IBC after partial deployment in order to facilitate cannulation of the internal iliac artery. The endoprosthesis opens rapidly, with deployment initiating from the leading (aortic) end toward the trailing (iliac) end of the endoprosthesis. The sleeve remains in place between the exterior surface of the endoprosthesis and the vessel wall.

### GORE® EXCLUDER® Internal Iliac Component
The IIC is designed to preserve blood flow to the internal iliac artery while allowing exclusion of the CIAA or AIA (Figure 6). The IIC is identical in materials and method of construction to the currently marketed Iliac Extender Endoprosthesis, except the middle gold marker band has been removed. On the Iliac Extender Endoprosthesis, this middle marker band is present to note a 3 cm overlap with other EXCLUDER AAA Devices. As the overlap for the IIC with the IBC is 2.5 cm, the middle gold marker is not necessary. The IIC distal diameter will be available in nominal sizes of 10, 12, and 14.5 mm and will treat internal iliac diameters of 6.5 mm to 13.5 mm.

## IX. SUMMARY OF PRECLINICAL STUDIES
The design of the IBE Device is derived from the from the previously approved EXCLUDER components. Therefore, the potential effects of the design modifications and the new intended use (as compared to the EXCLUDER AAA Device) formed the basis for the preclinical test strategy. Additionally, ISO 25539-1 and commercial experience with the previously approved EXCLUDER components were considered in developing the preclinical testing. Where the design changes incorporated in the IBE Device as compared to the previously approved EXCLUDER components are not expected to significantly affect the results of previous testing, these results continue to be applicable to the IBE Device, and testing was not repeated. Such testing includes aspects of biocompatibility, durability, and performance testing. This approach is acceptable because of the extensive similarities of the IBE Device to the EXCLUDER Device in terms of design, materials, and construction.
The manufacturer completed or appropriately leveraged comprehensive preclinical studies, including in vitro benchtop and analytical testing (Section A), biocompatibility testing (Section A), animal studies (Section B), and sterility, packaging, and shelf-life testing (Section C) to support the safety and effectiveness of the IBE Device.
### A. Laboratory Studies
#### In Vitro Benchtop and Analytical Testing
Appropriate in vitro and analytic testing was determined through reference to the testing of the previously approved EXCLUDER components and relevant standards. Where the design attributes incorporated in the IBE Device are not expected to significantly affect the results of previous testing, the previously approved EXCLUDER components results are applicable to the IBE Device, and testing was
PMA P020004/S123: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Page 12
{12}
not repeated. Such testing includes aspects of biocompatibility, durability, and performance testing. This approach is acceptable because of the extensive similarities of the IBE Device to the previously approved EXCLUDER components in terms of design, materials, and construction.
Table 6 provides a summary of the benchtop testing conducted to evaluate the performance of the IBE Device. All testing was conducted on devices representative of the final IBE Device intended for commercial use and subjected to 2x EO sterilization. The results of the laboratory studies provide preliminary evidence that the IBE Device is safe and effective and performs comparably to the previously approved EXCLUDER components.

### Biocompatibility Evaluation
The IBE Device was evaluated for biological safety as per FDA Memo #G95-1 “Use of International Standard ISO-10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-1: Evaluation and Testing” to demonstrate the suitability of the materials for their intended use in an abdominal stent graft system. Biocompatibility testing from other marketed Gore medical products with the same or similar materials and processing was leveraged for the IBC endoprosthesis, the IIC endoprosthesis, and the IIC delivery system. Due to differences in the materials and processing of the IBC delivery system (as compared to other marketed Gore medical products), biocompatibility testing was performed on the IBC delivery system. Table 7 summarizes the IBC delivery system testing.

$^{1}$The initial test of the IBC catheter for hemolysis resulted in a hemolysis index of 7.39% which is just above the hemolytic index acceptance criteria of < 5%. That test included the catheter and removable guidewire tube (RGT) in the same test sample. The hemolysis test was repeated using the same lot of catheters and RGT. The catheter and RGT were tested separately since the RGT is removed prior to use in the patient. This second test resulted in a hemolytic index of 0% for both the catheter and RGT. A third test of a new lot of catheters, without the RGT since it does not contact the patient, resulted in a hemolytic index of 0.08% well below the acceptance level of <5%. The initial hemolytic index of 7.39% was not confirmed in the two additional hemolysis tests. These results indicate that the IBC catheter is non-hemolytic and thus safe for use as a medical device.
The materials evaluated and used in the components of the IBE Device are considered biologically safe for use in a device classified as an Implant Device with permanent contact (>30 days) to circulating blood and tissues. The materials used in the components of the IBE Device delivery system are considered biologically safe for use in a device classified as an External Communicating Device with limited exposure (≤24 hours) to circulating blood (ISO 10993-1:2009).
## **B. Animal Studies**
No animal testing was conducted on the IBE Device. Information from clinical use and animal study data from the previously approved EXCLUDER components was appropriately leveraged based on the similarities in the IBE Device design and materials. Additionally, a validated bifurcated iliac animal model is not available to address delivery and deployment. These attributes were assessed in simulated use testing, as described above.
## **C. Additional Studies**
### **Sterilization, Packaging and Shelf Life**
The IBE Device has a labeled shelf-life of three years. Device packaging materials and the EO sterilization cycle are the same as those used with the previously approved EXCLUDER components. The sterilization and packaging testing was leveraged from the previously approved EXCLUDER components; no new testing was performed for the IBE Device.
Shelf life testing was performed on the IBE Device, with the relevant tests identified with asterisks in Table 6 above. Product testing was performed on samples that were 2X EO sterilized prior to aging. Accelerated aging studies on the IBE Device demonstrated that the device meets three-year shelf life specifications. Additionally,

real-time aging studies out to three years have been completed with all acceptance criteria being met.
# X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY
The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of endovascular treatment with the IBE Device for CIAA and AIA in the US under IDE #G130038. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA Supplement approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below.
# A. Study Design
Patients were treated between October 2013 and January 2015. The database for this Panel Track Supplement reflected data collected through November 5, 2015, and included 64 unique patients. There were 28 investigational sites.
The study (IBE 12-04) was a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, single-arm clinical study designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the IBE Device in subjects with isolated common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAA) or aorto-iliac aneurysms (AIA) involving both the abdominal aorta and common iliac artery.
Subjects were classified as presenting with unilateral or bilateral common iliac aneurysm. Subjects with aneurysmal disease involving both iliac arteries could be treated with the IBE Device. In this circumstance, only one of the iliac arteries could be treated with the IBE Device. The internal iliac artery on the opposite side could be managed with coil embolization or surgical revascularization of the artery. Placement of the IBE Device could occur no less than 24 hours after the incision was made for the procedure performed to occlude the internal iliac artery on the opposite side or no less than 30 days after the incision was made for surgical revascularization of the internal iliac artery on the opposite side. One subject withdrew from the study prior to the IBE Device procedure, and one subject withdrew as a bilateral subject and re-enrolled as a unilateral subject before the IBE Device procedure. A total of 63 subjects underwent the IBE Device procedure. Two subjects undergoing the IBE Device procedure were not eligible for longer-term effectiveness analysis. One of these subjects underwent femoral aneurysm repair concomitant with the IBE Device procedure, which was a violation of exclusion criteria. The other subject received an Iliac Extender in place of the Internal Iliac Component (IIC) due to initial difficulty in sheath advancement. Subject enrollment and eligibility for analysis are outlined in Figure 8.
This study evaluated safety and effectiveness through comparison to performance goals. Performance goals were established through a review of data from historical AAA endovascular clinical studies and scientific publications examining internal iliac artery treatment. This resulted in a safety performance goal of 80% freedom from safety endpoint events at 30 days. With this performance goal and a planned sample size of 60 subjects to maintain statistical power >80%, and a one-sided proportion test
PMA P020004/S123: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Page 21
{21}
with alpha=0.05, the study required at least 90% freedom from safety events in order to meet the performance goal.
With regards to effectiveness, the primary effectiveness endpoint was a composite of the following key events through the 6 month follow-up visit: reintervention on the Iliac Branch Component (IBC) or the Internal Iliac Component (IIC) due to Type IB or Type III endoleak as determined by the CEC, complete loss of blood flow in the leg of the IBC or the IIC due to thrombus or device failure as assessed by the Core Lab, and reintervention on the IBC or IIC to re-establish patency due to 60% occlusion or greater as determined by the CEC. The rate of reintervention or loss of patency across a number of publications was identified and summarized. A random effects meta-analysis resulted in a lower confidence limit of 85% freedom from such events. In order to show that outcomes with the IBE Device were consistent with historical performance of endovascular techniques, freedom from specified effectiveness endpoint events was required in >85% of subjects in order to statistically exceed the performance goal of 75% through the 6 month follow-up visit and a planned sample size of 60 subjects.
Patient related quality of life was assessed through a secondary endpoint of new onset buttock claudication arising from the side of the body treated with the IBC and IIC, as determined by the CEC through the six month follow-up visit. Buttock claudication can cause significant discomfort for a patient and is one of the more commonly reported complications associated with internal iliac artery coverage. The relative frequency of buttock claudication across a number of publications was identified and summarized. Using these results, a random effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate the overall frequency of buttock claudication when the internal iliac artery was sacrificed, and resulted in an upper confidence limit of 73% freedom from buttock claudication. In order to demonstrate clinical improvement, freedom from specified new claudication events was required in >83% of subjects in order to statistically exceed the performance goal of 73% through the 6 month follow-up visit and a planned sample size of 60 subjects.
This study utilized an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) that reviewed safety data during the accrual phase of the study and on an ongoing basis as needed. A Clinical Events Committee (CEC) reviewed adverse events for inclusion as endpoint events, all reinterventions through 12-month follow-up performed due to Type IB or Type III endoleak or 60% occlusion involving the investigational components, and inclusion/exclusion criteria deviations. Because IBE Device patients can present with bilateral iliac aneurysms but the study was limited to unilateral treatment, a Bilateral Recommendation Committee reviewed screening images and provided treatment recommendations. Finally, a Core Lab reviewed subject images for study critical events (e.g. endoleak, occlusion, stent fracture).

### 3. Clinical Endpoints
With regards to safety, the primary endpoint of this study was a composite of the following events through 30 days after the initial procedure: death, stroke, myocardial infarction, bowel ischemia, paraplegia, respiratory failure, renal failure, and conversion to open surgical repair as determined by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC) according to the protocol definitions, compared to the performance goal.
With regards to effectiveness, the primary effectiveness endpoint was a composite of the following key events through the 6 month follow-up visit: reintervention on the Iliac Branch Component (IBC) or the Internal Iliac Component (IIC) due to Type IB or Type III endoleak as determined by the CEC, complete loss of blood flow in the leg of the IBC or the IIC due to thrombus or device failure as assessed by the Core Lab, and reintervention on the IBC or IIC to re-establish patency due to 60% occlusion or greater as determined by the CEC, compared to the performance goal.
Patient related quality of life was assessed through a secondary endpoint of new onset buttock claudication arising from the side of the body treated with the IBC and IIC, as determined by the CEC through the six month follow-up visit.
PMA P020004/S123: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Page 25
{25}
With regard to success/failure, study success was defined as meeting the primary safety and effectiveness endpoints. The IBE 12-04 study was considered successful if the null hypotheses for the test of primary safety (≤ 0.80) and effectiveness (≤ 0.75) were rejected.
## B. Accountability of PMA Cohort
At the time of database lock, of 64 unique patients enrolled in the PMA study, 98.4% (63) patients are available for primary safety endpoint analysis at 30 days and 96.9% (62) patients are available for primary effectiveness endpoint analysis at the 6 month post-operative visit.
Subjects were screened and enrolled per the criteria outlined above. One hundred seventy-three (173) subjects were screened for eligibility for the IBE 12-04 Study; 108 subjects were excluded from study participation and identified as screen failures (Figure 8). The most common primary reason for exclusion from the study was common iliac artery diameters (Inclusion 1) and adequate anatomy to receive the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis and the IBE Device (Inclusion 2).
A total of 65 subjects were considered to be enrolled into the study; however, one subject withdrew then re-enrolled, resulting in a total of 64 unique study subjects. An additional subject withdrew from the study prior to the IBE Device procedure. One subject was not considered eligible for the primary endpoint and all effectiveness and device-specific safety analyses because they did not meet the selection criteria for the study. An additional subject did not receive both IBE device components so was included in the primary safety endpoint, but excluded from device-specific safety (i.e., serious and non-serious device events) and all effectiveness endpoints.

Figure 8: Subject Enrollment and Analysis Inclusion
Table 10 provides the follow-up compliance and disposition for effectiveness eligible subjects. Note: three subjects were not effectiveness eligible due to not undergoing the IBE Device procedure, receiving an Iliac Extender in place of the IIC, and undergoing concomitant femoral aneurysm repair which was a violation of exclusion criteria, respectively. For a given study period, data presented include the number of

subjects eligible for follow-up (i.e., number eligible from previous period minus subject deaths, subjects discontinued or not yet due for their next follow-up visit). All 61 subjects were eligible for the primary endpoint analysis at 6 months, 36 subjects were within the 12 month window and 23 subjects were within the 24 month window at time of datalock. A total of two subjects undergoing the IBE device procedure were no longer eligible for study follow-up due to death. No deaths were determined to be aneurysm-related, device-related, or procedure-related.
**Table 10** includes subjects eligible for all effectiveness endpoint analyses (Figure 8).

$^{1}$Percentages are based on number of subjects eligible for follow-up in study period.

$^{3}$Contrast CT is necessary for Core Lab determination of endoleak, lumen obstruction, patency, or rupture.
$^{4}$Subjects still within the study window out of those who have not yet had a CT scan.
Analysis of pre-treatment and follow-up radiologic images was conducted by an independent Core Lab. **Table 11** presents the Core Lab assessments performed for follow-up imaging, and the percentage of subjects with assessments in each study period. Core Lab evaluation of endoleak, lumen obstruction, patency, and rupture was dependent on the availability of contrast-enhanced CT scan. Other assessments could be made using non-contrast CT. Critical parameters could be evaluated in over 85% of study subjects at 6 months.
Wire fracture observations are described in terms of the Stent Integrity Grading Scale where class 0 represents no fracture, class I is single tine fracture, class II is multiple tine fractures, class III is stent fracture with preserved alignment of components, class IV is stent fracture with mal-alignment of components, and class V is stent fracture in a trans-axial spiral configuration. Wire fracture was assessed for previously approved EXCLUDER components and IBE Device components for all classes of fracture, but due to varying slice thickness of imaging was considered evaluable if the IBC and IIC

{28}
components could be assessed for class IV and V fractures; the most significant types of fractures in nitinol stents that could have clinical sequelae are usually class IV and V. Further categorization of wire fracture assessment for the IBC and IIC components is presented in Table 12. Wire fracture assessment of the IBC and IIC components was evaluable in 96.7% of subjects in the 1 month study window and 90.2% of subjects in the 6 month study window, with 62.3% of subjects evaluated for all fracture classes in the 1 month and 6 month study windows.
When considering the impact of slice thickness in assessing subclinical device fractures, while slice thickness does impact the ability to identify individual wireform fractures (Class I, Class II, and some Class III), most nitinol stent fractures that could have clinical sequelae progress to Class IV and V, and these can be detected in thicker slice CT imaging. Sequelae of Type III endoleak, migration, and limb occlusion will also be detected in thicker slice CT imaging.
Tables 11 and 12 include subjects eligible for all effectiveness endpoint analyses (Figure 8).

### C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters
The demographics of the study population are typical for an endovascular stent graft study performed in the US.
Baseline assessments of all enrolled IBE 12-04 subjects include demographics and risk factor evaluations, including medical history and comorbidities. **Table 13** provides demographic data. The majority of subjects enrolled were white males with a mean age of 69.6 years. Over 60% of the subjects enrolled into the study had a unilateral CIAA. **Table 14** provides subject medical history, with hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and cigarette smoking presenting as the most common comorbidities.
**Tables 13 and 14** include the 64 unique subjects enrolled (**Figure 8**).

Subjects underwent pre-treatment imaging to assess aortic morphology (Tables 15 and 16). Patient pre-treatment aortic imaging measurements were evaluated in two groups (Table 15): those presenting with abdominal aortic aneurysms (Aortoiliac Aneurysms, aortic diameter ≥ 50 mm) and those presenting without abdominal aortic aneurysms (Isolated Iliac Aneurysms, aortic diameter < 50 mm). Measurements in Table 16 are reported separately for the IBE treated side and the non-IBE side. In both tables,

#### **D. Device Usage**
**Table 17** provides device usage for patients implanted with the IBE Device. Diameter distribution of all IBE Devices implanted (IBC and IIC) are presented in **Table 18**. Sixty-three (63) IBCs were implanted in 63 subjects and 68 IICs were implanted in 62 subjects. One subject was not implanted with an IIC due to difficulty in sheath advancement. Multiple IICs were used in five subjects for various reasons including distal extension to gain length and / or address tortuosity, as well as to improve overlap with the IBC. **Table 19** presents the diameter and length distributions of implanted Contralateral Leg components. Seventy-three (73) Contralateral Leg components were implanted in 63 subjects. Multiple Contralateral Leg components were used in 9 subjects to provide an adequate bridge between the Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis and the IBE Device.
**Tables 17, 18, and 19** include subjects undergoing IBE Device procedure (**Figure 8**).

$^{1}$One subject underwent the IBE Device procedure with successful placement and deployment of the investigational IBC, but difficulty in sheath advancement resulted in failure to place the IIC. Eventually, a commercially available EXCLUDER AAA Endoprosthesis Iliac Extender was used in place of the investigational IIC.

### **E. Procedural Data**
**Table 20** provides procedure and recovery data for all subjects in which the IBE procedure was attempted. All subjects survived the endovascular procedure. Median hospital stay was 1 day (range of 1 – 11 days). Fourteen (14) subjects required an ICU stay. For subjects with an ICU stay, the median length of ICU stay was 1.1 days. Median time to return to normal daily activities, as reported by subjects, was 27 days.
Additional procedures performed during endovascular treatment included stenting procedure (n=5, 7.9%) and embolization (n=2, 3.2%). Two subjects had additional stents deployed within the external iliac leg of the IBC for
