Intended Use

The Minima Stent System is indicated for use in the treatment of native or acquired pulmonary artery stenoses or coarctation of the aorta in neonates, infants, and children at least 1.5 kg in weight.

Device Story

The Minima Stent System is a balloon-expandable, radiopaque, cobalt-chromium stent designed for treating vascular stenoses in pediatric patients. The device is pre-crimped onto a delivery system consisting of a Pebax balloon and a Nylon single-lumen catheter with an outer covering catheter. The system is operated by a physician in a clinical setting (e.g., cath lab) using fluoroscopic guidance. The handle allows for axial translation to expose the stent for deployment. The stent is designed for expansion up to 24 mm via redilation to accommodate somatic growth. Output is the physical relief of vessel stenosis, confirmed by angiography and pressure gradient measurements. The device benefits patients by providing a durable, expandable scaffold for vessel patency, reducing the need for open surgical intervention.

Clinical Evidence

Pivotal prospective, multi-center, single-arm GROWTH trial (IDE G210256) enrolled 42 pediatric patients (median age 9 months, weight 7.8 kg). Primary safety endpoint (freedom from serious device-related AEs) met with 100% success at 6 months. Primary effectiveness endpoint (composite of stenosis relief, freedom from surgical intervention, and maintenance of vessel diameter) met with 97.6% success (41/42 patients). Secondary endpoints included successful stent re-dilation (100% success in 13 procedures) and pressure gradient reduction. No stent fractures observed through 6 months. Clinical data supported by non-clinical bench testing and GLP porcine studies.

IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS The warnings and precautions can be found in the Minima Stent System labeling. PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 1 of 29 {1} # V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Minima Stent (Figure 1) is a balloon-expandable, radiopaque, symmetrical, cobalt-chromium (CoCr) stent. The stent is sterilized using ethylene oxide gas and is packaged pre-crimped onto the Minima Delivery System balloon. ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg) Figure 1. Design of Renata Minima Stent The stent is supplied in one size and may be expanded from 5.1 to $8.5\mathrm{mm}$ diameter depending on the size of the balloon delivery system selected. Both the $6\mathrm{mm}$ and $8\mathrm{mm}$ diameter stent systems have a length of approximately $16\mathrm{mm}$ . The Minima Stent, with its unique cell design, is designed to be expanded to a diameter of up to $24\mathrm{mm}$ , when redilated with an appropriately sized balloon catheter after initial stent implantation. As the stent is dilated to larger diameters, the stent length decreases, as described in the instructions for use. The Minima Delivery System (Figure 2) is a covered balloon catheter containing 2 basic elements: 1) a balloon catheter, which includes a Pebax balloon bonded to a Nylon single-lumen catheter, and 2) an outer covering catheter, with a handle for simple axial translation. The outer catheter has an atraumatic tip and forms a seamless leading edge with the distal tip of the balloon. The handle allows for a simple push-and-pull system, facilitating proximal retraction of the outer catheter on the fixed balloon shaft to expose the balloon and stent and allow for balloon inflation once the device is in position for stent deployment. The handle contains a screw lock to maintain catheter component alignment during catheter insertion and manipulation. ![img-1.jpeg](img-1.jpeg) Figure 2. Design of Renata Minima Delivery System The system is pre-packaged with the Minima Stent crimped onto the balloon, which is covered by the outer catheter. The Minima System is supplied in two balloon sizes, 6 and $8\mathrm{mm}$ . During a clinical case, initial catheter-based angiography is used to determine the correct delivery system size for the patient given the device's deployment diameter range for the 6-mm system (5.1 to $7.1\mathrm{mm}$ ) versus the 8-mm system (6.9 to $8.5\mathrm{mm}$ ). Final sizing is then determined by the inflation pressure used to inflate the Minima System. Sizing information is provided in the labeling in 2 ATM increments. While the 2 system sizes achieve different deployment diameters, the exact same stent is used in PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {2} both systems. Each system is packaged and sold separately, to be selected based upon clinical need. The covered system allows for sheathless delivery, with the entire system having an outer diameter analogous to a 4 Fr sheath. If a physician elects to use a sheath, a 6 Fr sheath is required. ## VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES There are several other alternatives for the correction of pulmonary artery stenoses or coarctation of the aorta in neonates, infants, and small children, including balloon angioplasty and surgical intervention. Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient and/or caregiver should fully discuss these alternatives with his/her physician to select the method that best meets expectations and lifestyle. ## VII. MARKETING HISTORY The Minima Stent System has not been marketed in the United States or any foreign country. ## VIII.

Animal Studies Renata Medical performed 3 chronic animal studies (2 non-GLP and 1 GLP) to evaluate the safety and performance of the Minima Stent in vivo prior to initiation of clinical studies. The initial non-GLP animal study was conducted to evaluate the safety of the device in pediatric swine. Table 4 below details the GLP study. Table 4. Summary of GLP Porcine Study | GLP Porcine Study | | | --- | --- | | Sample Size / Animal Model | N = 5 piglets | | Test Article | N = 14 systems total; 3 of 6 mm size and 11 of 8 mm size | | Method | Animals were anesthetized and appropriate cardiac catheterization imaging was utilized to determine appropriate sizing in target vessels (i.e., aortas and branch pulmonary arteries). Using fluoroscopy, the Minima Stent Systems were tracked to the target location and deployed. After approximately 60 days, the stents were re-dilated using balloons to match the diameter of the vessel after somatic growth. After 90 days, the animals were terminated after catheter evaluation. The safety and performance of the device was evaluated based on animal health parameters, gross pathology, radiography, angiography, and histopathology. Device performance was assessed based on both operator feedback provided throughout the procedure and angiography to determine the structural integrity of the stent during both deployment and expansion. | | Results | There were no adverse events leading to early death or mortality due to the Minima Stent System. There were no stent fractures, dissections, or perforations resulting from the deployment of the stent. Histomorphometry measurements and calculations of cell layer parameters passed all acceptance criteria. The delivery system was trackable, allowed accurate stent placement, and was overall easy to use. | An additional non-GLP study was performed (Table 5) to evaluate a design refinement intended to increase the radial force of the Minima Stent, with an emphasis on evaluation of stent migration. Table 5. Summary of Non-GLP Porcine Study | Non-GLP Porcine Study | | | --- | --- | | Sample Size / Animal Model | N = 2 piglets | | Test Article | N = 8 systems total | | Method | Animals were anesthetized and appropriate cardiac catheterization imaging was utilized to determine appropriate sizing in target vessels (i.e., aortas and branch pulmonary arteries). Using fluoroscopy, the Minima Stent Systems were tracked to the target location and deployed. After approximately 27 days, the animals were terminated following terminal fluoroscopy to assess for stent migration. The safety of the device was also evaluated based on animal health parameters and gross pathology. | PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {9} PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 10 of 29 | Non-GLP Porcine Study | | | --- | --- | | Results | No clinically significant adverse events leading to early death or mortality due to treatment with the Minima Stent were observed by clinical observations and clinical pathology results. Gross pathology and necropsy showed no significant clinical abnormalities. Fluoroscopy / angiography revealed that the revised Minima Stent design did not migrate in 7 out of 8 implanted stents. | ## C. Additional Studies ### 1.

Safety and Effectiveness Results 1. Safety Results The analysis of safety was based on the data available through the 6 month follow-up visit for all 42 enrolled subjects, regardless of whether successful stent placement was achieved. All 42 (100%) of subjects with attempted implants demonstrated freedom from serious device-related adverse events (i.e., death, cardiac arrest and/or emergency ECMO cannulation, stroke, limb loss, vessel dissection of target lesion, device thrombosis/occlusion, cardiac perforation requiring percutaneous or open surgical intervention, and/or persistent cardiac arrhythmia requiring a pacemaker), through 6 months as specified in the primary safety endpoint. The study's primary safety endpoint resulted in 100% success, therefore, the normal approximation to the binomial could not be used to calculate the lower limit of the confidence interval, so the exact method was used instead. The lower limit of the two-sided lower 95% confidence interval was 91.6% using the PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 15 of 29 {15} Clopper-Pearson method, which exceeds the performance goal of 78%; therefore, the primary safety endpoint was met. The results of the secondary safety endpoint analyses are provided in Table 9. Table 9. Summary of Secondary Endpoints in GROWTH Study | Secondary Safety Endpoint | Rate | | --- | --- | | Freedom from stent embolization or migration through 6 months | 93% (42/45* stent implant attempts) | | Freedom from stent fracture that led to reintervention through 6 months | 100% (42/42 patients) | | Freedom from non-elective stent explant at 90-days post re-dilation | 100% (8/8 evaluable patients) | | Freedom from procedure- or device-related SAEs during re-dilation | 100% (13/13 re-dilation attempts) | * Note: Of the 42 enrolled patients, 39 were treated with 1 Minima Stent and 3 patients with 2 Minima Stents, for a total of 45 Minima Stent Implants. ## Adverse effects that occurred in the PMA clinical study: The overall incidence and types of adverse events aligned with comparable rates reported in literature. No unanticipated device-related adverse events were identified. Table 10 documents the adverse events determined to be related to the device or procedure that occurred during the GROWTH study. Table 10. Device- or Procedure-Related Adverse Events in GROWTH Study | Event | n/N (Event Rate: number of events/number of subjects implanted) | | --- | --- | | Procedure-related Thrombus Formation | 7/42 (11.9%) | | Device-related Thrombus | 0/42 (0%) | | Device Migration/Embolization | 3/42 (7.1%) | | Lower Extremity Pulse Loss | 1/42 (2.4%) | | Rebleed from Arterial Site | 1/42 (2.4%) | | Transient Heart Block | 1/42 (2.4%) | | Hematoma | 1/42 (2.4%) | | Hypertension | 1/42 (2.4%) | | AV Fistula | 1/42 (2.4%) | | Pseudoaneurysm | 1/42 (2.4%) | | In-Stent Narrowing | 1/42 (2.4%) | | Increased Gradient across Stent | 1/42 (2.4%) | PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 16 of 29 {16} In this cohort, there were three adverse events that met the definition of device migration/embolization for a rate of 7.1% (3/42 subjects; 3/45 attempted stent implants). The three cases of migration/embolization occurred intra-procedurally. The two pulmonary artery (PA) cases were both in the setting of ostial stenoses, where there is a known higher risk of stent migration/embolization. In both PA cases, the stent deployment to the left pulmonary artery was attempted and the stent embolized into the main pulmonary artery during withdrawal of the delivery system. The stents were deployed in the right pulmonary artery to ensure fixation in both cases. In one case, review of the case suggested that placement of the stent more proximally than initially desired contributed to the event, and the patient received a second stent in the intended location. In the second case, the patient did not receive a second stent and the stenoses was not treated. The third case occurred during treatment of aortic coarctation, which resulted in the placement of a second stent to treat the aortic coarctation. When passing the pigtail catheter across the stent for post-deployment pressure gradients and angiographic imaging, the stent was partially dislodged from the lesion. However, the stent remained over the lesion. A second Minima Stent was placed within the first stent to ensure fixation within the lesion and treatment of the coarctation. There were no cases of stent migration/embolization reported post-procedure as of the date of data lock for this study. Femoral arterial access site complications were noted in 6 subjects, all of whom underwent treatment for coarctation (N = 21). All 6 patients weighed less than 6 kg at the time of the procedure, and all subjects (6/6) have been documented to have resolution of the event, without sequelae. Stent fracture has not been observed in any of the 42 subjects post-procedure through 6 months. One death was reported during the study at 206 days post-procedure (after analysis of the primary effectiveness endpoint). This one subject had an adverse event of “Increased Gradient across Stent” adjudicated as related to the device. The patient had multiple cardiac comorbidities requiring surgical repair and there were concerns that dilation of the stent could result in compression of the left bronchus. Therefore, the patient was treated with open surgical intervention. The Minima Stent was explanted and replaced with a homograft. The patient received several other concurrent intracardiac open surgical procedures and expired 110 days later from worsening pulmonary hypertension and acute respiratory distress syndrome. ## 2. Effectiveness Results The analysis of effectiveness was based on the data through the 6-month follow-up visit for all 42 subjects. Of the 42 subjects, 41 experienced device success, as defined by 1) stenosis relief, 2) freedom from open surgical intervention required to treat Minima Stent dysfunction, and 3) maintenance of stented PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 17 of 29 {17} vessel diameter $\geq 50\%$ of post-implant diameter at 6 months, resulting in an overall success rate of $97.6\%$ . The results broken down primary effectiveness component are provided in Table 11. Table 11. Primary Effectiveness Component Results | Primary Effectiveness Endpoint Component | Timeframe | Event Rate (n/N) | | --- | --- | --- | | Stenosis relief | Intra-procedure | 97.6 % (41/42) | | Freedom from open surgical intervention to treat Minima Stent dysfunction | Implant procedure through 6 month follow up visit | 100% (42/42) | | Maintenance of stented vessel ≥ 50% of post-implant diameter at 6 months | 6 month follow up visit | 97.6% (41/42) | The primary effectiveness hypothesis was tested by calculating the lower limit of the two-sided $95\%$ confidence interval using the normal approximation to the binomial, with success defined as a lower limit of greater than $77\%$ . Since the calculated lower limit is $93.0\%$ , the primary effectiveness endpoint is successfully met. Given the sample size and an observed proportion that is close to $100\%$ , the appropriateness of the normal approximation to calculate the confidence limit may be inadequate, so the exact method of Clopper-Pearson was also calculated. The lower limit using this exact method is $87.4\%$ , which still meets the definition of success for the hypothesis test. Successful deployment of the stent and stenosis relief, defined by a stent outer diameter $\geq 75\%$ of the surrounding vessel immediately after deployment, was achieved in 41 of 42 subjects. Of the 41 patients treated with the Minima stent who met the definition of successful stenosis relief, the median increase in stenosis diameter was $3.6\mathrm{mm}$ (range: 1.5 to $6.6\mathrm{mm}$ ) after stent implant, as shown in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 4, the median increase in the stent outer diameter compared to the surrounding native vessel was $131\%$ (range: 46 to $483\%$ ). PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {18} ![img-2.jpeg](img-2.jpeg) Figure 3. Change in Stenosis Diameter Pre/Post Stent Deployment Failure to relieve the stenosis occurred in one case of Minima stent placement across the left branch of the pulmonary artery. During this case, the stent was initially placed successfully across the left branch of the pulmonary artery. However, the stent was dislodged into the main pulmonary artery during withdrawal of the delivery system and was unable to be readvanced into the left pulmonary artery (LPA). After initial attempts to readvance the deployed stent into the LPA, the stent was deployed in the subject's RPA with a $10\mathrm{mm}$ balloon to ensure effective fixation. Due to the length of procedure required to place the stent into the RPA, a second Minima Stent implantation was not attempted at this time. The subject's lesion was instead treated using balloon angioplasty and logged as an efficacy failure as the lesion was not successfully treated using the Minima Stent. In all other cases, the stent was deployed to a diameter at or above $75\%$ of the surrounding native vessel.

Deployed Stent Outer Diameter Compared to Surrounding Native Vessel (n=41) The results of the secondary effectiveness endpoint analyses may be found in Table 12. Table 12. Summary of Secondary Endpoints in GROWTH Study | Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint | Rate (n/N) | | --- | --- | | Peak-to-peak pressure gradient < 20 mmHg after stent placement | All treated: 95.2% (40/42) Aortic Coarctation: 95.2% (20/21) | | Successful stent re-dilation, defined as an increase in the intra stent angiographic luminal diameter of within 2mm | 100% (12/12) | # 3. Re-dilation Safety and Effectiveness Outcomes To date, 12 of the 41 implanted patients have received a stent re-dilation with a median time to re-dilation of 259 days (range 104-758 days; Table 14). Eleven (11) subjects have received one additional re-dilation procedure after implantation of the Minima Stent, and one (1) one subject has received two re-dilation procedures. For re-dilations, candidates were required to meet one or more of the following inclusion criteria: - Development of an increase in the pressure gradient across the stent and/or stent lumen diameter less than the nominal adjacent vessel diameter, as defined as: Peak Doppler echo gradient $\geq 30\mathrm{mmHg}$ and/or a mean Doppler PMA P240003: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {20} gradient ≥20 mmHg across the stented vessel - Stented lumen diameter is ≤ 75% of adjacent native vessel. Exclusion criteria for re-dilations are listed above in Section X.A.1. Of the 13 re-dilation procedures, 10 of the re-dilation procedures were due to the stented lumen diameter being ≤ 75% of adjacent native vessel and 2 were due to an increased gradient across the stented vessel. Three (3) of the re-dilations did not meet either inclusion criteria. Physicians who performed these three re-dilations outside of the GROWTH IDE study inclusion criteria deemed it was in the best interest of the subject’s treatment plan. Implanting physicians noted that re-dilation of stents within the pulmonary arteries, prior to the presence of a stenosis caused by somatic growth, might lead to distal vessel growth in some cases. One of the patients who did not meet inclusion criteria was undergoing a concomitant procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and the stented diameter was less than the normal vessel diameter. As a result, the physician re-dilated the stent during the already occurring cardiac catheterization. All 13 re-dilation procedures (initial: n=12, secondary: n=1) have been free from procedure- or device-related SAE during re-dilation, including those listed in the secondary endpoint listed below: - Death - Cardiac arrest and/or emergency ECMO cannulation - Stroke - Limb loss - Vessel dissection of target lesion - Device thrombosis/occlusion - Cardiac perforation requiring percutaneous or open surgical intervention - Persistent cardiac arrhythmia requiring a pacemaker Of the 13 re-dilation procedures, all were free from procedure or device related SAEs during re-dilation (Table 9). At 90-days post re-dilation, all 8 evaluable patients were free from non-elective stent explant (Table 9). One patient who is eligible for their 3-month post-re-dilation visit has not yet completed their visit (Table 9).

During primary re-dilations, stent luminal diameters were increased from a median of $5.6\mathrm{mm}$ (range: 2.9 to $6.7\mathrm{mm}$ ) to $7.3\mathrm{mm}$ (range: 4.6 to $10.1\mathrm{mm}$ ) (Table 14.1-14.2, Figure 5). This represents an average increase in diameter of $1.87\mathrm{mm}$ . All 12 Minima stents were re-expanded to within $2\mathrm{mm}$ of the surrounding native vessel at the time of re-dilation procedure, with a median difference to average surrounding vessel of $-0.9\mathrm{mm}$ (range: -2.2 to $2.3\mathrm{mm}$ ) (Figure 5). In addition, 1 subject (Patient 8 in Table 14.2; see table caption) has undergone a secondary stent re-dilation, increasing the stent luminal diameter from $7.3\mathrm{mm}$ to $7.5\mathrm{mm}$ on Day 551 post-implantation.

Pediatric Extrapolation In this premarket application, existing clinical data was not leveraged to support approval of a pediatric patient population. The clinical study data collected for this PMA included pediatric patients. ## XI. Financial Disclosure The Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators regulation (21 CFR 54) requires applicants who submit a marketing application to include certain information concerning the compensation to, and financial interests and arrangement of, any clinical investigator conducting clinical studies covered by the regulation. The pivotal clinical study included 9 investigators, of which 0 were full-time or part-time employees of the sponsor and 1 had disclosable financial interests/arrangements as defined in 21 CFR 54.2(a), (b), (c) and (f) and described below: - Compensation to the investigator for conducting the study where the value could be influenced by the outcome of the study: 1 - Significant payment of other sorts: 1 - Proprietary interest in the product tested held by the investigator: 0 - Significant equity interest held by investigator in sponsor of covered study: 1 The applicant has adequately disclosed the financial interest/arrangements with clinical investigators. Statistical analyses were conducted by FDA to determine whether the financial interests/arrangements had any impact on the clinical study outcome. The information provided does not raise any questions about the reliability of the data. ## XII. PANEL MEETING RECOMMENDATION AND FDA'S POST-PANEL ACTION In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(3) of the act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, this PMA was not referred to the Circulatory Systems Device Panel, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation because the information in the PMA substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by this panel. ## XIII. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES ### A. Effectiveness Conclusions The assessment of effectiveness of the Minima Stent in the GROWTH study was evaluated through the ability of the device to relieve the indicated stenosis, while avoiding open surgical intervention and maintaining vessel diameter at 6 months. As evidenced by the results of the GROWTH study, the performance goal of the primary endpoint was met, with 41 out of the 42 subjects (97.2%) meeting the criteria for clinical success at the 6-month follow-up visit. As such, the GROWTH trial demonstrates the effectiveness of the Minima Stent in relieving native or acquired pulmonary artery stenoses or coarctation of the aorta. There was no {26} meaningful outcome differences observed in any patient subgroup (age, sex/gender, etc.). ## B. Safety Conclusions The safety assessment of the device is based on non-clinical and animal testing, and data collected in the GROWTH study, conducted to support PMA approval as described above. The results from the non-clinical laboratory and animal testing demonstrate that the device is suitable for long-term implant. The safety assessment for the GROWTH Trial was based on freedom from procedure- or device-related serious adverse events. All 42 enrolled subjects (100%) have been free from SAEs through post-procedure follow-up and continued to demonstrate no occurrence of device- or procedure-related SAEs at their 6-month follow-up visits. ## C. Benefit-Risk Determination The probable benefits of the Minima Stent System include sustained relief of native or acquired pulmonary artery stenoses or coarctation of the aorta, including maintenance of stented vessel diameter at 6 months, reduced peak-to-peak pressure gradient, and the ability to perform serial re-dilation as somatic growth requires stent expansion. The probable risks associated with Minima Stent System include stent migration, stent embolism, stent fracture, hematoma, thrombosis, stent stenosis, vessel aneurysm or tear, bleeding, vascular complications, and death. ### 1. Patient Perspective This submission either did not include specific information on patient perspectives or the information did not serve as part of the basis of the decision to approve or deny the PMA for this device. In conclusion, given the available information above, the data support that for the treatment of native or acquired pulmonary artery stenoses or coarctation of the aorta with the Minima Stent, the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks. ## D. Overall Conclusions The data in this application support the reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of this device when used in accordance with the indications for use. Preclinical and clinical studies provided in the PMA application demonstrate reasonable assurance that the Minima Stent System is safe and effective for the treatment of native or acquired pulmonary artery stenoses or coarctation of the aorta in neonates, infants, and children at least 1.5 kg in weight.

CDRH DECISION CDRH issued an approval order on August 28, 2024. The final conditions of approval cited in the approval order are described below. The applicant must submit a non-clinical post-approval study report which includes the results of their study conducted to experimentally determine the endurance limit of the Minima Stent material. The study will be instituted no later than 12 months of the date of PMA approval. In addition, the applicant must conduct two post-approval studies: 1. Continued Follow-Up of the Premarket Cohort: This study will consist of all living patients who were enrolled under the IDE. The objective of this study is to characterize the clinical outcomes annually through 5 years post-procedure. All available patients will be followed annually through 5 years. Data will be collected per the study protocol, including but not limited to: acute device success (stenosis relief) rates, rates of open surgical intervention required to treat Minima Stent dysfunction, stented vessel diameters (when available) over time, procedure- or device-related significant adverse event (SAE) rates related to both implantation and to any subsequent re-dilations, peak-to-peak pressure gradients after stent placement (when applicable), stent re-dilation success (increase in the intrastent angiographic luminal diameter within 2 mm of the adjacent native vessel diameter immediately after re-dilation) rates, rates of interventions following re-dilations, and all device deficiencies (e.g., migration, embolization, stent fracture leading to reintervention, stent explants) along with any resultant adverse events. Data will be descriptively assessed. 2. New Enrollment Study: This study is a single arm, prospective, multi-center, open-label study of patients treated with the Renata Minima Stent System in the United States. The objective of the study is to continue the assessment of device performance and capture outcome data on use of the device in real-world use. A minimum of 100 subjects will be enrolled. Follow-up will occur immediately after the initial implant procedure, at subsequent re-dilation procedures, annually, and at any additional standard of care follow-up visits (determined by the implanting physician) through 5 years post-implant. Data collected at each follow-up will be used in analysis. This study will monitor key data points related to the device and procedure, including but not limited to: acute device success (stenosis relief, freedom from open surgical intervention required to treat Minima Stent dysfunction at implantation) rates, procedure- or device-related significant adverse event (SAE) rates related to both implantation and to any subsequent re-dilations, rates of open surgical intervention required to treat Minima Stent dysfunction, peak-to-peak pressure gradients after stent placement (when applicable), rates of maintenance of the stented vessel diameters ≥ 50% of the post-implant diameter prior to re-dilation, stent re-dilation success (angiographic improvement of stenosis to &gt;50% of the normal surrounding vessel) rates, and device deficiencies (e.g., misplacement, {28} migration, embolization, stent fracture leading to reintervention, stent explants) along with any resultant adverse events. Data will be descriptively assessed. The applicant’s manufacturing facilities have been inspected and found to be in compliance with the device Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR 820). ## XV. APPROVAL SPECIFICATIONS Directions for use: See device labeling.
