WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS The warnings and precautions can be found in the Cordis INCRAFT® AAA Stent Graft System labeling. # V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The INCRAFT® AAA Stent Graft System (also referred to as INCRAFT) is a modular bifurcated endovascular stent graft system comprised of two main types of devices: the INCRAFT® Stent Graft implant and the INCRAFT® Delivery System. The stent graft is preloaded into the delivery system and advanced to the intended location under fluoroscopy, where it is deployed to create a new blood flow channel to exclude an aneurysm. ## Stent Graft The INCRAFT consists of three main components (Figure 1): an aortic bifurcate prosthesis and two iliac limb prostheses. In addition, to extend the implant in a caudal direction, the iliac limb prosthesis can be used as an iliac extension prosthesis. Each prosthesis is constructed of a seamless, woven polyester graft supported by a series of short, laser-cut, electro-polished, self-expanding nitinol stent-rings throughout the entire length. Aortic bifurcate and iliac limb prosthesis sizes, their sizing recommendations and corresponding delivery system profiles are described in Table 1 and Table 2. ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg) Figure 1: INCRAFT Aortic Bifurcate and Iliac Limb/ Iliac Limb Extension ![img-1.jpeg](img-1.jpeg) The aortic bifurcate prosthesis is deployed first into the cranial portion of the infrarenal aorta, as well as a small portion of the suprarenal aorta. It has a flared bare transrenal stent with 8 or 10 laser-cut barbs depending on the cranial diameter. The fixation barbs (Figure 1) are located at the cranial end of the transrenal stent and help keep the prosthesis in place. Distal to the bare transrenal stent, the main trunk of the aortic bifurcate prosthesis has two sealing stents and a taper stent that divides into the ipsilateral and contralateral legs, {2} supported by a series of Z-stents. While the diameter of the trunk varies by product code, the lengths of the trunk (49 mm) and legs (45 mm on the ipsilateral side and 37 mm on the contralateral side), as well as the diameters of the legs (11 mm) are constant. The aortic bifurcate prosthesis is manufactured in 4 trunk diameter sizes (22, 26, 30 and 34 mm). The iliac limb prostheses are deployed into the legs of the aortic bifurcate prosthesis and into the ipsilateral and contralateral iliac vessels. The overlap between the aortic bifurcate prosthesis and the iliac limb prosthesis can vary between 2 cm and 5 cm on the ipsilateral side, and between 2 cm and 4 cm on the contralateral side. The iliac limb prosthesis has a series of Z-stents cranially, 1 or more taper stents (if other than a straight configuration), and a diamond sealing stent caudally. The cranial diameter is always constant at 13 mm while the length and the caudal diameter of the iliac limb prosthesis could vary by product code. The iliac limb prostheses are available in 5 different caudal diameters (10, 13, 16, 20 and 24 mm) and in 4 different lengths (8, 10, 12, and 14 cm) except for the 24 mm x 8 cm code that does not exist. The iliac limb prostheses could also be used as iliac extensions by placing one into a previously deployed iliac limb prosthesis to gain additional exclusion length. Note: The 10 mm iliac limb prosthesis cannot be extended by design as the cranial diameter for all iliac limb prostheses is 13 mm. Radiopaque markers provide a reference for proper alignment when deploying the prosthesis components (Figure 2). The aortic bifurcate cranial edge markers indicate the location of the cranial edge of the graft material (0.0-1.0 mm below the markers). The cranial edge markers serve as a guide for placement of the bifurcate's cranial edge just the below the lowest renal artery. The contralateral side marker indicates the orientation of the bifurcate's contralateral leg. The bifurcate's maximum and minimum overlap markers indicate the overlap range allowed for the cranial end of the iliac limb prostheses within each leg of the aortic bifurcate. The contralateral gate markers represent the caudal end of the bifurcate's contralateral leg and provide visualization in three dimensions to assist in cannulation of the contralateral leg. Radiopaque markers on the iliac limb protheses are included to indicate cranial and caudal edges of the graft and to assist in placement within the bifurcate leg cranially and iliac landing zone caudally.

Each delivery system is delivered over a 0.035" (0.89 mm) stiff guide wire and is operated to deploy the prosthesis by rotating the gold handle component (#5 in Figure 3) in a clockwise direction while firmly holding the white handle component (#6 in Figure 3). The deployment of each prosthesis is completed by pulling a secondary release mechanism (#4 in Figure 3). There are two variations of the delivery system: one for the aortic bifurcate prosthesis, and one for the iliac limb prosthesis. Both variations of the delivery system are disposable and for single use only. The aortic bifurcate delivery system has an integrated sheath introducer along with a hemostatic valve to facilitate component exchanges during the procedure. The working length of the aortic bifurcate delivery system is approximately 54 cm. The size of the integrated sheath introducer varies depending on the diameter of the prosthesis it contains. For prosthesis diameters of 22, 26, and 30 mm, the inner diameter of the integrated sheath introducer is 13F (outer diameter of 14F). For the prosthesis diameter of 34 mm, the inner diameter of the integrated sheath introducer is 15F (outer diameter of 16F). The outer surface of the integrated sheath introducer has a lubricious (hydrophilic) coating at the distal end to facilitate introduction into the vasculature. The graft is held between the inner and the outer PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {5} catheter of the delivery system, just proximal of the distal catheter tip. The inner catheter is 0.035” guidewire compatible terminating in the tapered catheter tip. The delivery system of the iliac limb prosthesis is similar to that of the aortic bifurcate except for its size, and that it does not have an integrated sheath introducer. The iliac limb delivery system has a working length of approximately 77 cm and can be delivered through the integrated sheath introducer of the aortic bifurcate system. The iliac limb delivery system has a 12F outer diameter for prosthesis diameters between 10 mm and 20 mm, and a 13F outer diameter for the 24 mm diameter prosthesis. The outer surface of each iliac limb delivery system has a lubricious (hydrophilic) coating at the distal end to facilitate introduction into the vasculature. The graft is held between the inner and the outer catheter of the delivery system, just proximal of the distal catheter tip. The inner catheter is 0.035” guidewire compatible terminating in the tapered catheter tip. ![img-4.jpeg](img-4.jpeg) Figure 3. INCRAFT Delivery System Components 1.

PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {13} # Fracture Root Cause Investigation As described below, the INCRAFT was evaluated in the INSPIRATION clinical study. During the clinical study, transrenal stent fractures were observed. An investigation was conducted to identify the root cause for transrenal stent strut fractures observed in the INSPIRATION clinical study and to characterize potential risks associated with these fractures. All stent strut fractures observed in the INSPIRATION study were located at the transrenal stent component, with the majority of the fractures at the stent "Cranial X" location (Figure 6 in Section X.D.2.2.8). Additionally, no transrenal stent strut fractures were observed during design verification and validation tests or the implant durability tests discussed in Table 4. The root-cause investigation revealed that the primary cause of the strut fractures was likely cardiac-induced cyclic axial deformations (i.e., axial length changes in the transrenal aortic region associated with the cardiac cycle). To support the root cause analysis, a range of axial compression values was determined to use as boundary conditions to input into a finite element analysis (FEA). These values were obtained from literature sources, clinical data of patients with the INCRAFT device (i.e., dynamic CT imaging in one patient after exhibiting fractures for one quantitative measurement, post-procedural imaging for 2 patients who developed a fracture for qualitative observation of cyclic axial deformation), and data from an analysis completed by the sponsor on a competitor's infrarenal AAA device using cardiac-gated CT imaging. FEA was conducted on the transrenal stent with the physiologically-relevant axial compression range. The calculated device strains exceeded the material constant life line at the cranial "x" location regardless of the applied axial deformation magnitude. Moreover, with increased deformation magnitudes, locations pertaining to the cranial tip, caudal "x" and the cranial strut location also begin to show susceptibility to fracture, suggesting that these locations are secondary fracture locations. This analysis predicted that the most likely location of stent fracture is the cranial "x" with the secondary fracture locations being the cranial tip and the caudal "x" location, which is consistent with the observations in the INSPIRATION clinical study. Bench fatigue tests of the transrenal stent under cyclic axial deformations corroborated the cranial "x" location as the primary fracture location under this deformation mode (Figure 4). However, the FEA and additional testing did not identify clinical conditions specific to patients with fractures as compared to those without fractures. As implant migration is a risk of transrenal stent fracture, the sponsor completed acute and chronic migration resistance testing on device test samples that represent the worst-case fracture condition. This chronic testing was conducted in a $37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ saline bath using a $30\mathrm{mm}$ aortic bifurcate component deployed in a silicone vessel with cyclic loading intended to simulate a $60^{\circ}$ neck angulation with an increasing number of induced fractures. Each chronic test with a given number of induced fractures was conducted to 10 million cycles (or 3 months equivalent). Results indicated that migration (i.e., PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 14 {14} movement greater than $10\mathrm{mm}$ ) did not occur with 10 out of the 16 stent struts fractured (i.e., only 3 suprarenal barbs remained intact). The acute migration resistance testing was conducted in air at $37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ after the $30\mathrm{mm}$ aortic bifurcate component was deployed into a silicone vessel. The barbs were cut sequentially around the circumference for testing. Results indicated that the aortic bifurcate component did not migrate more than the $10\mathrm{mm}$ specification until more than 12 stent strut fractures were induced. ![img-5.jpeg](img-5.jpeg) Figure 4. Summarized root-cause of stent strut fractures depicted by (a) primary fracture location in INSPIRATION study; (b) primary fracture location predicted by computational modeling and (c) primary fracture location predicted by bench fatigue testing. ![img-6.jpeg](img-6.jpeg) ![img-7.jpeg](img-7.jpeg) # B. Animal Studies In vivo animal study testing was conducted on the INCRAFT to evaluate the safety of the device following implantation in ovine aorta and iliac arteries. The test article consisted of a $22\mathrm{mm}$ aortic bifurcate prosthesis and a shortened $13\mathrm{mm}$ iliac limb prosthesis. One aortic bifurcate prosthesis was placed transrenally in the aorta and one iliac limb prosthesis was placed separately in the right iliac artery of each animal. The tissue response to INCRAFT was evaluated histologically and the sealing capability and integrity of the bifurcate and iliac limb were evaluated angiographically and radiographically, respectively. Migration was evaluated angiographically. The effect of trans-renal implantation of the aortic bifurcate on renal function was also assessed. Results are presented in Table 5. The results demonstrated adequate acute performance, acceptable stent graft integrity and fixation, and appropriate healing characteristics and tissue response.

Biocompatibility The biocompatibility assessment performed for the INCRAFT was based on the matrix for body contact and contact duration included in ISO 10993-1:2009/Cor 1:2010, Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process. For purposes of biocompatibility testing, the stent graft was classified as an implant device, permanent contact (&gt; 30 days), while the delivery system was classified as an external communicating device, circulating blood, limited exposure (&lt; 24 hours). All testing was performed by a qualified contract laboratory in accordance with FDA GLP Regulations, 21 CFR Part 58. All testing performed met the pre-specified acceptance criteria. The results are summarized in Table 6 for the implant and Table 7 for the delivery system.

Sterilization, Packaging, and Shelf-Life The INCRAFT is a single-use device that is provided sterile to the end user. The INCRAFT is sterilized using 100% Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas with heated aeration to allow for residual sterilant dissipation. The sterilization process was validated to demonstrate a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶. All packaging and shelf life validation testing was performed on sterilized dummy devices that had been environmentally conditioned and transportation tested. All protocol acceptance criteria were met, and the results of the testing demonstrated that the packaging configuration for the INCRAFT is capable of maintaining package and sterile integrity for a two (2) year shelf-life. Specific engineering testing completed to support shelf life are denoted by an asterisk (*) in Table 4. Accelerated shelf-life product testing conducted on the INCRAFT supports a 2-year shelf-life claim. ## X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms with the INCRAFT device in the United States (US) and Japan under IDE #G120003. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. Although the primary effectiveness endpoint was at 1 year, at the time of the data lock for PMA submission, complete 4-year data of the INSPIRATION clinical study were available. A summary of the clinical study is presented below. ## A. Study Design Patients were treated between July 2012 and August 2013. The database for this original PMA reflected data collected through December 29, 2017 and included 190 PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {20} patients (134 in the US and 56 in Japan). There were 32 investigational sites in the United States (27) and Japan (5). The study was a multi-center, prospective, open label, non-randomized, single arm clinical study. The primary safety endpoint was defined as the proportion of patients with a Major Adverse Event (MAE) within 30 days post index procedure. $$ \mathrm{H}_0: \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{MAE}} \geq 20\% \text{ vs. } \mathrm{H}_a: \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{MAE}} &lt; 20\% $$ Where, $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{MAE}}$ is the proportion of patients who have at least one MAE at 30 days post-procedure among the INCRAFT patients. The primary effectiveness endpoint was defined as the proportion of patients with aneurysm treatment success within 1 year post index procedure. $$ \mathrm{H}_0: \mathrm{P}_{\text{Success}} \leq 80\% \text{ vs. } \mathrm{H}_a: \mathrm{P}_{\text{Success}} &gt; 80\% $$ Where, $\mathrm{P}_{\text{Success}}$ is the proportion of patients with successful aneurysm treatment after the use of the INCRAFT through 1 year post-procedure. The results were tested against a performance goal derived from the open surgical control group in the Society of Vascular Surgery (SVS) Lifeline Registry for the safety endpoint (herein referred to as the SVS Controls) and a performance goal derived from recent IDE studies for EVAR for the effectiveness endpoint. The hypothesis of the primary safety endpoint was that the 30-day MAE rate in the INCRAFT™ arm was lower than performance goal of $20\%$. With expected attrition of $5\%$, a final sample size of 190 patients ensured that 180 evaluable patients were available at 30 days for the primary safety analysis. With a sample size of 180, a one-sided exact binomial test using a nominal significance level of 0.05 had at least $95\%$ power to reject the null hypothesis when the 30-day MAE rate is $10\%$. The hypothesis of the primary effectiveness endpoint was that the proportion of patients with the composite endpoint of successful aneurysm treatment was greater than the performance goal of $80\%$. Assuming a $20\%$ attrition rate over 12 months, the total enrollment was 190 patients. With a sample size of 150, a one-sided exact binomial test using a nominal significance level of 0.05 had approximately $90\%$ power to reject the null hypothesis when the successful aneurysm treatment rate at 12 months was $89\%$. The INSPIRATION study utilized external evaluation groups, whose roles and responsibilities are described below: - Independent Reviewers: In order to confirm that only appropriate patients would be enrolled, an independent reviewer reviewed all screening CT imaging to confirm the patients met eligibility criteria prior to enrollment. The PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 21 {21} team of independent reviewers were vascular surgeons, separate from the sponsor, Core Laboratory, and sites. Each independent reviewer was trained to the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria, the INCRAFT device, and the imaging software. - Core Laboratory: A Core Laboratory was utilized to evaluate Angiograms, CT scans, and X-ray images from screening through the 5-year follow-up. They assessed the following events: aneurysm enlargement, endoleaks, stent fracture, and stent graft migration. Two Core Laboratories were used in this pivotal study. The first Core Lab evaluated all images through the first year. The second Core Lab reviewed all imaging after the first year. The second Core Lab re-reviewed all x-rays for the detection of fracture(s) and also recalculated the 1-month baseline measurements due to changes in migration measurement process from the first Core Lab. The 1-month aneurysm diameter measurements were not re-evaluated by the second Core Lab as both laboratories used the same definition. - Clinical Events Committee: The Clinical Events Committee (CEC) reviewed and adjudicated protocol-defined MAEs, endograft occlusions, secondary interventions and Type I, III, and IV endoleaks. Type II endoleaks were reviewed by the CEC only if there was a discrepancy between the Site and Core Lab assessment. - Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB): The Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) served as an independent group of experts that periodically reviewed and evaluated the accumulated study data for patient safety, study conduct, and study progress. 1.

Patients were not permitted to enroll in the INSPIRATION study if they met any of the following exclusion criteria: - Vascular anatomy in which the placement of the stent-graft will cause occlusion of both internal iliac arteries or necessitates surgical occlusion of both internal iliac arteries; - Subject has one of the following: - Aneurysm sac rupture or leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm; - Mycotic, dissecting, or inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm; - Clinically significant acute vascular injury due to trauma; - Significant aortic or iliac mural thrombus, plaque or calcification that would compromise fixation and seal of the device; - A conical aortic neck defined as &gt; 3 mm distal increase over a 10 mm length in the planned seal zone; - Thoracic aortic aneurysm ≥ 45 mm; - Any aortic dissection; - Morbid obesity (BMI &gt; 40.0 kg/m²) or other clinical conditions that limit required imaging studies or visualization of the aorta; - Renal insufficiency (Creatinine &gt;2.0 mg/dL) or subject on renal dialysis; - Known allergy or intolerance to nickel titanium (nitinol), Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); - Known contraindication to undergoing angiography or anticoagulation (e.g. contrast allergies which cannot be treated); - Connective tissue disorder (such as Marfan’s Syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome); - Coagulopathy, bleeding disorder, or other hypercoagulable state; - Organ transplant recipient or subject requiring systemic immunosuppressant therapy; - Cerebral vascular accident (CVA), MI, or intracranial bleeding within 3 months prior to the procedure; - Active infection or chronic systemic illness at the time of index procedure that may interfere with the study objectives; PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 23 {23} - Major surgical procedure within 1 month prior to the index procedure or pre-planned within 1 month afterwards; - Co-existing condition with a life expectancy of less than 2-years at time of procedure; - Current or planned participation in any other investigational drug or medical device clinical study that has not completed primary endpoint(s) evaluation; - Existing AAA surgical graft and/or a AAA stent-graft system; - Other medical, social, or psychological issues that in the opinion of the investigator preclude the subjects from receiving this treatment, and the procedures and evaluations pre- and post-treatment. 2. Follow-up Schedule All patients were scheduled to return for follow-up visits at the investigational site at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year post-procedure and annually through 5 years. A subset of patients (i.e., those with at least one fracture identified within the first 5 years) will be followed for an additional 5 years, for a total of 10 years post index procedure. Pre-operative assessment included medical history, physical exam, CT scan, patient-reported outcomes questionnaire and laboratory testing as well as a pregnancy test for female patients of childbearing potential. Post-operatively, the objective parameters measured during the study included clinical utility measures (e.g., post index procedural length of hospital stay (days) and length of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay (hours)), acute procedural information, appropriate effectiveness measures, and concomitant medications, with physical examination, CT scans with and without contrast, four-plane X-rays, and patient-reported outcomes questionnaires. Pre-operative and post-operative parameters measured during the study are described in the Time and Event Schedule, Table 8. Adverse events and complications were recorded at all visits. The key timepoints are shown below in the tables summarizing safety and effectiveness.

Clinical Endpoints With regards to safety, the primary safety endpoint was the incidence of major adverse events (MAEs) at 30 days post-procedure. A major adverse event was defined as any of the following: Death Stroke Myocardial infarction - New onset renal failure (requiring dialysis) - Respiratory Failure (requiring mechanical ventilation) - Paralysis/ paraparesis - Bowel Ischemia (requiring surgical intervention) - Procedural Blood Loss $(\geq 1,000~\mathrm{cc})$ PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {25} This primary safety endpoint was compared to a performance goal of 20%. With regards to effectiveness, the primary effectiveness endpoint was successful aneurysm treatment, which was a composite endpoint defined as the following. - Technical success at the conclusion of the index procedure, that is, successful insertion of the delivery system through the vasculature and successful deployment of the device at the intended location. The endovascular graft must be patent, with absence of Types I or III endoleaks or aneurysm sac rupture, at the time of procedure completion as confirmed by angiography or other imaging modality; - Absence of postoperative aneurysm enlargement (growth &gt; 5 mm), or stent graft migration (&gt; 10 mm), as compared to the 1 month size measurement at any time up to 1 year; and - Absence of postoperative conversion to open surgery, aneurysm sac rupture, endoleak Type I/ III, or graft occlusion (including unilateral or bilateral limb occlusion) at any time up to 1 year. This primary effectiveness endpoint was compared to a performance goal of 80%. With regard to success criteria, the study would be considered successful if the performance goal for the safety and effectiveness primary endpoints were met. The following secondary analyses were performed using descriptive summary statistics: - Secondary safety endpoints include the following: - Major Adverse Events (MAEs) and the individual components at 180 days and 360 days compared with SVS Open Surgical Controls, wherever the appropriate control data is available. These endpoints will be reported annually to 5 years; - Procedure-related complications through 30 days, 180 days, 360 days and annually to 5 years; - Secondary effectiveness endpoints include the following: - Aneurysm-related mortality at 30 days, 180 days, 360 days, and annually through 5 years; - Technical Success at 30 days as confirmed by CT or other imaging modality; - Clinical utility measures to be compared with SVS Open Surgical Controls include: - Length of hospital stay (days) post index procedure; - Length of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay (hours) post index procedure; - Length of the Index procedure (minutes). - Incidence of secondary interventions, or the need for secondary interventions, to repair vascular events or malfunctions which are related to PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 26 {26} device and/or peri-graft complications at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and annually to 5 years. Secondary intervention is any vascular event which requires intervention to repair the AAA or device, Indications for secondary intervention may include endoleaks, stent graft migration, occlusion, or aneurysm sac rupture. - The incidence of secondary interventions within 1 year post-procedure, needed to prevent the occurrence of a significant event. Significant event being defined as: aneurysm enlargement (growth &gt; 5 mm), stent graft migration (&gt; 10 mm) compared to the 1-month size, endoleak type I / III, graft occlusion, sac rupture. - Device-related events at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and annually to 5 years. The device-related event may include: - Aneurysm Enlargement – defined as an increase in maximum aneurysm cross sectional diameter &gt; 5 mm compared to the 1 month measurement; - Endoleak(s); - Aneurysm sac rupture; - Fracture(s); - Delivery System Malfunction; - Device Malfunction; - Stent Graft Migration – evidence of proximal or distal movement of the stent graft &gt;10 mm relative to fixed anatomic landmarks compared with 1 month; - Graft Occlusion (including unilateral or bilateral limb occlusion); - Conversion to open surgery. ## B. Accountability of PMA Cohort At the time of database lock, of 190 patients enrolled in the PMA study, 100% of patients were available for analysis of the primary safety endpoint at 1 month and 96.3% (183) were available for analysis of the primary effectiveness endpoint at 1 year. One hundred and ninety patients (190) were implanted with the INCRAFT® AAA Stent Graft System and seen through discharge. Ninety nine percent (99%) of the eligible patients (189/190) completed the 1 month follow-up visit. One patient died 2-days post-operatively. The visit compliance rate was 97% (182/188) at 6 months and 97% (177/183) at 1 year. There was at least 90% imaging compliance up to the 1 year visit with suitability for evaluating endoleaks, aneurysm enlargement, migration, and stent fracture. There were two (2) conversions to open surgery after the 6 month visit but prior to the 1 year visit and the devices were explanted in each case. The patients who underwent conversion did not have follow up imaging post-conversion as the INCRAFT device was no longer present; however, they continue annual clinical follow up. One patient who underwent an axillo-bifemoral bypass procedure to address a patency event at the 4 year timepoint (Stent Graft Patency Section 2.2.9) is continuing to be followed via clinical and imaging follow-up for endovascular graft PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 27 {27} assessment. Beyond the 1-year visit, there was at least 85% imaging compliance at 2 years, at least 82% imaging compliance at 3 years, and at least 70% imaging compliance at 4 years, with suitability for evaluating endoleaks, aneurysm enlargement, migration, and stent fracture. Detailed patient accountability and follow-up are presented in Table 9. Table 9.

Eligible for follow-up = (previous eligible for follow-up - previous death - previous LTF) - currently not due). Patient(s) not due for a visit are excluded from the denominator. 2Defined as patients with either the scheduled study visit or patients with an unscheduled study visit within the imaging window for the visit. 3Only images that pass QC are listed. 4Only images that pass QC are listed. Patients still within follow-up window but have not had clinical follow up. Not the number of subjects with these reported events, but rather, the number with adequate imaging to evaluate the listed outcome. Patients who converted to open surgery no longer completed imaging follow-up, only clinical follow-up. Deaths within imaging windows. Lost to Follow-up (LTF) are those subjects that are either withdrawn or classified as lost to follow-up in the Electronic Data Capture. 10Number of patients who are still alive and participating in the study but have not had the device implanted long enough to be eligible for the follow-up visit. Percent of patients is out of those who are still alive (not dead) and participating in the study (not LTF). PMA P150002: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {28} $^{11}$ Endoleak at procedure determined by angiogram. Adequate imaging count provided by sponsor, angiogram Core Lab data not received by Contract Research Organization (CRO). $^{12}$ Endoleak at discharge determined by CT. Adequate imaging count provided by sponsor, CT at discharge Core Lab data not received by CRO. 13The denominator for eligibility at 1 month is based on the 1 month imaging window defined as "post-procedure through 90 days." The 2 patients died at 2 days and 78 days within the 1 month imaging window therefore they were included in the denominator. # C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters # Demographics The demographics of the study population are typical for a pivotal study performed in the US for the evaluation of an endovascular graft system intended for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, with the exception of a higher percentage of nonwhite/Caucasian study patients. Patient demographics for the INCRAFT cohort and SVS controls are presented in Table 10. The INCRAFT cohort was older (73.8 years vs. 70.1 years SVS) and shorter in stature (172 cm vs. 174 cm SVS) than the SVS controls. In addition, the INCRAFT cohort included more males (90% vs. 83.3% SVS). The INCRAFT cohort was only 68.9% white/Caucasian as compared with the SVS controls (94.9%) because roughly one-third of the patients in the INCRAFT cohort were from Japan while all the patients in SVS controls were from the US. The patients in the US cohort were slightly older (74.5 vs. 72.1 years) and taller (174.8 vs. 165.8) with a higher body mass index (28.6 vs. 24.6) as compared to the Japanese cohort. The percentage of women enrolled in the study was higher in the US (13.4%) as compared to Japan (1.8%). Table 10.

The cardiovascular comorbidities that were most commonly observed in the INCRAFT cohort were hypertension (77.9%) and hypercholesterolemia (72.1%). A larger proportion of patients in the SVS controls had angina (25.5% vs. 15.8%), coronary artery disease (53.3% vs. 40.5%), history of myocardial infarction (32.8% vs. 18.4%), and stroke (13.6% vs. 6.3%). In contrast, a larger proportion of patients in the INCRAFT cohort had diabetes (25.3% vs. 12.7%), and history of cancer (32.6% vs. 23.6%). There was a high prevalence of smoking history in the INCRAFT cohort (92.6%) and the SVS controls (88.2%). There were differences between the US patient population and the Japanese patient population with respect to their baseline medical histories as summarized in Table 11. The most commonly observed comorbidities were the same in the US and Japan; however, the rates were only similar for hypertension (78.4% vs. 76.8%) and were different for hypercholesterolemia (78.4% vs. 57.1%). The rates of comorbidities at baseline were higher in the US patient population as compared to the Japanese patient population, with the exception of angina (9.0% vs. 32.1%), liver disease (4.5% vs. 8.9%), and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or stent (22.4% vs. 30.4%).
