What does Carl want from Tryton
• New approach to bifurcation PCI
• Predictability and Improved Outcomes
• Cost Neutral or Defensible
Dilemma of Bifurcation Disease
vs
CONFIDENTIAL – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION
• Methodology not established
• Technically complex
• Unpredictable results
• Increased procedural time
• Higher costs
• Increased risk for stent thrombosis
• Recurrent ischemia from side branch residual disease
• Higher restenosis rate
• Duration of DAPT unclear
• Repeat intervention options limited
• Procedural Concerns • Post Procedural Concerns
Clinical Dilemma of Bifurcation Disease
Tryton takes the side branch out of play
…Avoids the unpredictable nature of BIF and its consequences
Eliminate Two Stent Strategies for Bifurcation

Tryton Experience: Learning Curve
Faster procedures, Reduced Fluoroscopy, and Less Contrast as Experience Grows
