What is CABG?
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting involves the construction of an alternative path to bypass a narrowed or occluded coronary artery and
restore blood flow from the aorta to an area past the occlusion.

What We Do
The eSVS Mesh is a kink-resistant, extravascular prosthesis made of knitted nitinol (nickel/titanium alloy) wire and is designed to give an implanted vein the physiological attributes of an artery.
eSVS® Mesh = external saphenous vein support

CABG - Standard of Care for Multi Vessel Disease
Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery, or “SYNTAX”, study Published in the New England Journal of Medicine March 2009 Evaluated long-term patient outcomes based upon survival rate and need for re-intervention
12 months after surgery Concluded CABG is the more effective long-term treatment for coronary artery disease
January 2008 study compared drug-eluting stents with CABG in multi-vessel coronary disease
New York study as Published in the New England Journal of Medicine Determined death rates and revascularization rates were higher in patients receiving drug-
eluting stents than in patients receiving CABG CABG was superior in spite of patients receiving CABG being older and having more severe
coronary disease
Practice Guidelines Recommend Bypass Surgery for Triple Vessel and Left Main Disease American Heart Association journal Circulation 2009 CABG is the only appropriate method of coronary revascularization for patients with triple
vessel disease or left main disease

CABG Procedures: 800,000 annually with
3.5 Grafts per Procedure of which
2.5 Grafts per Procedure are Saphenous
2.0 Million Potential eSVS MESH Grafts Annually Wholesale ASP @ $1,200 per unit
Retail ASP @ $2,500 per unit 70%+ margin potential

• International Feasibility Trial – CE Mark Approval – May 2010 Created significant questions for the FDA We answered questions and concerns with follow-up angio’s from
first International Trials
• Dubai, UAE – single center experience • Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland – multiple center
experience • 5th of February! First USA Implant for feasibility trial
for U.S. FDA. Texas Heart, Mayo Clinic, Emory Heart, N.E. Georgia have now enrolled patients.

eMESH I Trial Sites
Page 12
A multi-center, randomized study designed to demonstrate feasibility, initial safety and performance of the eSVS Mesh as an external vein support device for use over saphenous vein grafts during coronary artery bypass:
• Prospective, randomized study of up to 120 patients. • 8 investigational sites in Europe and 4* in the U.S. • FDA requires 25 implants for each size (3.5mm, 4.0mm and 4.5mm) with a
minimum of 80 total patients. • Primary safety endpoint is the rate of major adverse coronary events (MACE)
within 30 days of the procedure. • Primary efficacy endpoint is the Angiographic patency rate at six months (<75%
stenosis). • Post study – annual telephone follow-ups for five years.
“eMESH I” Clinical Feasibility Trial

* Staged enrollment in the U.S. – FDA requiring early review of results from 10 U.S./O.U.S. patients prior to allowing full U.S. enrollment. Currently approved for 15 patients in the U.S.
Independent distributor model We require distributor to have an established client base in cardiac surgery All contracts in US dollars
Mr. Villafaña has established commercially successful independent distributor networks in past companies: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc./Guidant Corporation St. Jude Medical, Inc. ATS Medical, Inc.
Early phase of commercial sales with approximately $250K in annual sales in 6 countries
