Carotid WALLSTENT<br />

# 26 ® Monorail ® Endoprosthesis and<br />

FilterWire EZ Embolic Protection System<br />

Introduced in 2006/2008* by the Peripheral Interventions business<br />

* The Carotid WALLSTENT was introduced in<br />

2008 and the FilterWire EZ was introduced<br />

in 2006.<br />

The Carotid WALLSTENT and FilterWire EZ are<br />

used together in carotid artery stenting<br />

procedures -- a minimally invasive alternative to<br />

surgery for treating blockages in the carotid<br />

arteries. The Carotid WALLSTENT features a<br />

closed-cell design, engineered for excellent<br />

lesion coverage and angiographic results, while<br />

the FilterWire EZ Embolic Protection System is<br />

designed to capture plaque debris released<br />

during the stenting procedure, preventing it from<br />

traveling to the brain. Before its launch in the<br />

U.S., the Carotid WALLSTENT became the<br />

leading carotid stent in Europe and other<br />

international markets due to excellent patient<br />

outcomes and ease of use in complex anatomy.
