generation peripheral arterial, venous, neurovascular and biliary stents,
announced today the successful implantation of its 200 mm FlexStent®

overlapping a 6×150 mm and a 6×40 mm stents to treat a long, diffuse lesion in
the patients femoropopliteal artery. Dr. Holden commented, “The 200 mm
FlexStent® was able to be deployed across the aortic bifurcation in the
contralateral SFA easily and accurately with an excellent imaging and clinical
result.”

During the procedure, Dr. Holden was accompanied by Bradley
Beach, FSS VP of R&D and co-inventor of the FlexStent® technology. Mr.
Beach added, “I was thrilled to see the confidence in which Dr. Holden used our
devices for this procedure. His feedback in the 2009 first-in-man trial was
instrumental in our designing the current low-deployment force system.”

Dr. Holden is scheduled to transmit a live case using the
FlexStent® at the TCT Conference in San
Francisco on Wednesday, November 9, 2011.
