POST-APPROVAL STUDY of TRANSCAROTID ARTERY REVASCULARIZATION in PATIENTS With SIGNIFICANT CAROTID ARTERY DISEASE
POST-APPROVAL STUDY of TRANSCAROTID ARTERY REVASCULARIZATION in PATIENTS With SIGNIFICANT CAROTID ARTERY DISEASE
The ROADSTER 2 Study is intended to evaluate real world usage of the ENROUTE Transcarotid
 Stent when used with the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System by physicians of varying
 experience with the transcarotid technique.
INCLUSION CRITERIA:

 1. Patient must meet one of the following criteria regarding neurological symptom status
 and degree of stenosis:

 Symptomatic: Stenosis must be >50% as determined by an angiogram and the patient has a
 history of stroke (minor or non-disabling; NIHSS ≤4 or mRS ≤2), TIA and/or amaurosis
 fugax within 180 days of the procedure procedure ipsilateral to the carotid artery to
 be stented.

 OR Asymptomatic: Stenosis must be >80% as determined by angiogram without any
 neurological symptoms within the prior 180 days.

 K. Patient has known severe left ventricular dysfunction

 -  LVEF <30%.

 L. Patient has had a myocardial infarction > 72 hours and < 6 weeks prior to procedure.

 M. Patient has severe pulmonary disease (COPD) with either:

 -  FEV1 <50% predicted or

 -  chronic oxygen therapy or

 -  resting PO2 of <60 mmHg (room air)

 N. Patient has permanent contralateral cranial nerve injury O. Patient has chronic renal
 insufficiency (serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dL).

 REMINDER: The following is a list of anatomical considerations that are not suitable for
 transfemoral CAS with distal protection that are NOT contraindications for enrollment in
 the ROADSTER 2 Study including but not limited to:

 I. TypeII, III, or Bovine arch II. Arch atheroma or calcification III. Atheroma of the
 great vessel origins IV. Tortuous distal ICA V. Tortuous or occluded iliofemoral segments
 VI. Occluded aortoiliac segments

 EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

 Each potential patient must be screened to ensure that they do not meet any of the
 following exclusion criteria. This screening is to be based on known medical history and
 data available at the time of eligibility determination and enrollment.

 1. Patient has an alternative source of cerebral embolus, including but not limited to:

 1. Patient has chronic atrial fibrillation.

 2. Patient has had any episode of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation within the past 6
 months, or history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation requiring chronic
 anticoagulation.

 3. Knowledge of cardiac sources of emboli. e.g. left ventricular aneurysm,
 intracardiac filling defect, cardiomyopathy, aortic or mitral prosthetic heart
 valve, calcific aortic stenosis, endocarditis, mitral stenosis, atrial septal
 defect, atrial septal aneurysm, or left atrial myxoma).

 4. Recently (<60 days) implanted heart valve (either surgically or endovascularly),
 which is a known source of emboli as confirmed on echocardiogram.

 5. Abnormal angiographic findings: ipsilateral intracranial or extracranial arterial
 stenosis (as determined by angiography or CTA/MRA ≤ 6 months prior to index
 procedure) greater in severity than the lesion to be treated, cerebral aneurysm >
 5 mm, AVM (arteriovenous malformation) of the cerebral vasculature, or other
 abnormal angiographic findings.

 2. Patient has a history of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage within the past 12
 months, or has had a recent (<7 days) stroke of sufficient size (on CT or MRI) to
 place him or her at risk of hemorrhagic conversion during the procedure.

 3. Patient had hemorrhagic transformation of an ischemic stroke within the past 60 days.

 4. Patient with a history of major stroke attributable to either carotid artery (CVA or
 retinal embolus) with major neurological deficit (NIHSS ≥ 5 OR mRS ≥ 3) likely to
 confound study endpoints within 1 month of index procedure.

 5. Patient has an intracranial tumor.

 6. Patient has an evolving stroke.

 7. Patient has neurologic illnesses within the past two years characterized by fleeting
 or fixed neurologic deficit which cannot be distinguished from TIA or stroke,
 including but not limited to: moderate to severe dementia, partial or secondarily
 generalized seizures, complicated or classic migraine, tumor or other space-occupying
 brain lesions, subdural hematoma, cerebral contusion or other post-traumatic lesions,
 intracranial infection, demyelinating disease, or intracranial hemorrhage).

 8. Patient has had a TIA or amaurosis fugax within 48 hrs prior to the procedure.

 9. Patient has an isolated hemisphere.

 10. Patient had or will have CABG, endovascular stent procedure, valve intervention or
 vascular surgery within 30 days before or after the intervention.

 11. Myocardial Infarction within 72 hours prior to the intervention.

 12. Presence of a previous placed intravascular stent in target vessel or ipsilateral CCA
 or significant CCA inflow lesion.

 13. Occlusion or [Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction Trial (TIMI 0)] "string sign" >1cm
 of the ipsilateral common or internal carotid artery.

 14. An intraluminal filling defect (defined as an endoluminal lucency surrounded by
 contrast, seen in multiple angiographic projections, in the absence of angiographic
 evidence of calcification) whether or not it is associated with an ulcerated target
 lesion.

 15. Ostium of Common Carotid Artery (CCA) requires revascularization.

 16. Patient has an open stoma in the neck.

 17. Female patients who are pregnant or may become pregnant.

 18. Patient has history of intolerance or allergic reaction to any of the study
 medications or stent materials (refer to stent IFU), including aspirin (ASA),
 ticlopidine, clopidogrel, statin or contrast media (that can't be pre medicated).
 Patients must be able to tolerate statins and a combination of ASA and ticlopidine or
 ASA and clopidogrel.

 19. Patient must have a life expectancy <3 years without contingencies related to other
 medical, surgical, or interventional procedures as per the Wallaert Score and patients
 with primary, recurrent or metastatic malignancy who do not have independent
 assessment of life expectancy performed by the treating oncologist or an appropriate
 specialist other than the physician performing TCAR.
