1.6 Subject population 
At least 100 subjects with ischemic heart disease due to de novo stenotic lesions within native 
coronary arteries that meet the eligibility criteria and sign the informed consent form will be 
asked to participate in this trial.  All subjects who consent will be asked to participate in the 13 
month angiographic subset until at least 20 subjects have been enrolled in this subset.  Subjects 
may receive treatment in up to two lesions, if the lesions are located in separate target vessels.  
Core size lesions should be treated with the currently approved Resolute Integrity stent.   
The trial will be conducted at a maximum of 25 investigational sites within the United States 
(US) and Japan.  Sites are allowed to enroll a maximum of 20 subjects per site or until study 
enrollment has been completed, whichever comes first. The expected time of participation in the 
trial for each subject is three years.  
1.6.1 Key Inclusion Criteria 
• Subject has clinical evidence of ischemic heart disease.  For single vessel disease: stable 
or unstable angina alone is sufficient.  For multi-vessel treatment: a positive functional 
study or FFR to demonstrate functional need in 2.0 mm small vessel.  
• Subject has either a single target lesion suitable for treatment with a Resolute Onyx 
2.0 mm stent, or two target lesions located in separate target vessels with at least one 
suitable for treatment with a Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent 
See Section 4.4 for a detailed description for all Inclusion Criteria.   
1.6.2 Key Exclusion Criteria 
• Evidence of an acute MI within 72 hours of the intended trial procedure 
• Planned PCI of any vessel within 30 days post-index procedure and/or planned PCI of the 
target vessel(s) within 12 months post-procedure. (No staged procedures). 
Note: Refer to Table 2 in Section 4.4.5 for additional procedure criteria for 
planned PCI of the target and other (non-target) vessel(s). 
See Section 4.4 for a detailed description for all Exclusion Criteria.   
1.7 Schedule of Follow up Assessments 
Subject Contact (the subject will be assessed by telephone, e-mail, and/or office visit) at: 
• 30 days 
• 6 months (subjects that did not have baseline MPI performed) 
• Annually 12 months, 2 and 3 years (all subjects) 
Clinic Visit (the subject must return to the same investigational site where the index procedure 
was performed) at: 
• 6 months (MPI assessment – subjects with baseline MPI performed and consent to 
follow-up MPI only) 
• 13 Months (angiographic assessment – 2.0 mm Angio subset subjects only)

• Angiography should be performed for any post-procedure clinical event (e.g., MI) to 
determine if the event is attributable to the target vessel or a non-target vessel. The reason 
for any repeat angiography (either clinically driven or non-clinically driven) must be 
documented on the CRF. 
Revascularization should only be conducted when ischemic symptoms are found by an objective 
measurement and stenosis alone does not justify revascularization. 
1.8 Statistical Methods 
The primary safety endpoint of Target Lesion Failure (TLF) at 12 months post-procedure will be 
compared to a performance goal derived from outcomes of other Drug Eluting Stents (DES). The 
TLF performance goal of 19% at 12-months is based on US approved 2.25 mm drug-eluting 
stent data.  The RESOLUTE ONYX 2.0 mm Study design with 100 subjects yields more than 
80% power, assuming a one-sided type 0.05 level of significance and 10% loss to follow up.

INTRODUCTION 
2.1 Background  
Drug eluting stents have demonstrated superiority over bare metal stents in small vessels1,2,3 and 
have been shown to be most effective in reducing restenosis in high risk populations, such as 
those with small reference vessel diameters4,5.  A large meta-regression analysis of 31 
randomized trials has demonstrated that the clinical benefit of DES increases as the risk profile 
of the subject increases, without affecting safety6. Therefore, the greatest benefit in reducing 
revascularizations and most cost-effective use of DES are seen in challenging lesions, such as 
small vessels7. Accordingly, Medtronic Vascular has developed a Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm device 
specifically for the treatment of small stenotic coronary arteries.  
Currently, there are approved 2.0 mm bare metal stents, but no approved 2.0 mm DES in the US.  
A clinical trial is being conducted to demonstrate that the Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm TLF rate is 
significantly lower than the performance goal estimated from the DES TLF rate in the treatment 
of small vessel lesions.  The successful demonstration of a TLF significantly below the DES TLF 
Performance Goal would additionally be significantly below the estimated 12-month TLF rates 
for BMS and POBA in small vessel stenotic coronary disease.   
2.2 Study Device Name and Description 
The investigational device being evaluated in this clinical trial is the Medtronic Resolute Onyx 
2.0 mm Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System. 
The following is a summary of the Resolute Onyx Stent System.  More detailed information 
regarding clinical indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions, preclinical testing 
and materials in contact with tissues or body fluids, can be found in the ‘Instructions for Use’ 
(IFU). 
The Medtronic Resolute Onyx Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System is comprised of four 
main components: 
1. Stent Platform- Onyx Bare Metal Stent  
2. Stent Delivery System - Resolute Onyx Delivery System RX  
3. Zotarolimus – Anti-proliferative drug component/active pharmaceutical ingredient 
4. Polymer – BioLinx™ Polymer System 
2.2.1 Stent 
The Resolute Onyx stent is similar in design to the Resolute Integrity stent and utilizes the same 
continuous sinusoid manufacturing technology.

Table 1: Resolute Onyx Stent Platform 
Resolute Onyx 
Material 
Composition 
Cobalt  Alloy-shell 
Platinum/Iridium- core 
Appearance 
The stent is manufactured from a composite wire which has an outer shell and an inner core. The 
outer shell which is in contact with the vessel is of the identical cobalt chromium alloy used for 
the Resolute Integrity stent. The inner core material is a Platinum/Iridium alloy intended to 
enhance radiopacity. The stent design has been modified slightly to provide a lower crossing 
profile and thus, improved deliverability over predicate products. 
2.2.2 Stent Delivery System 
The Medtronic Resolute Onyx Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System consists of a balloon-
expandable intracoronary drug-eluting stent pre-mounted on a Rapid Exchange (RX) stent 
delivery system. The delivery system has two radiopaque markers to aid in the placement of the 
stent during fluoroscopy and is compatible with 0.014 inch (0.36 mm) guidewires and 5 Fr (1.42 
mm/0.056 in) minimum inner diameter guide catheters. The Resolute Onyx RX delivery system 
(Figure 1) has an effective length of 140 cm. 
 
 
Figure 1: Resolute Onyx RX Delivery System (with Stent) 
 
2.2.3 Zotarolimus Drug Substance 
The therapeutic agent utilized in the Medtronic Resolute Onyx Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary 
Stent System is zotarolimus, a licensed proprietary chemical entity from Abbott Laboratories, 
and is also identical to the predicate Endeavor Resolute and Resolute Integrity products. 
Zotarolimus is a tetrazole-containing macrocyclic immunosuppressant.  The suggested 
mechanism of action of zotarolimus is to bind to FKBP12, leading to the formation of a trimeric 
complex with the protein kinase mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), inhibiting its activity.  
Inhibition of mTOR results in the inhibition of protein phosphorylation events associated with 
translation of mRNA and cell cycle control.  The zotarolimus drug in the Resolute Onyx Stent is 
intended to reduce the incidence of restenosis in coronary interventions.  The Resolute Onyx

Page 11 of 76 
Stent has a nominal drug dose of approximately 1.6µg zotarolimus per mm2 of the stent surface, 
which is identical to that of Endeavor Resolute and Resolute Integrity. 
2.2.4 BioLinx Polymer 
The Resolute Onyx stent is comprised of a bare metal stent with a Parylene C primer coat and a 
coating that consists of a blend of the drug zotarolimus and the BioLinx polymer system. 
BioLinx is a blend of the Medtronic proprietary components C10 (a copolymer of butyl 
methracrylate and vinyl acetate) and C19 (a terpolymer containing hexyl methacrylate, vinyl 
pyrrolidinone, and vinyl acetate), and PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone). The Resolute Onyx stent 
uses the same drug coating formulation, drug dose density and spray processing steps as the 
predicate Resolute Integrity product.  
2.3  Intended Use 
The Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm Stent System is intended to improve coronary luminal diameters in 
subjects with symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to de novo stenotic lesion(s) contained 
within a vessel diameter that allows the use of a 2.0 mm diameter stent.

CLINICAL TRIAL DESIGN 
The Medtronic RESOLUTE ONYX 2.0 mm Clinical Trial is a single arm, open label, multi-
center trial enrolling at least 100 subjects with ischemic heart disease attributable to stenotic 
lesions of the native coronary arteries that are amenable to percutaneous treatment with a 
Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent. At least 20 subjects will be enrolled to receive an angiographic 
follow up at 13 months.   
Subjects may receive treatment of one or two lesions, one lesion per target vessel, for a 
maximum of two target vessels.  Only one lesion may be treated in a single target vessel. All 
treatment with the study stents is to be performed during a single index procedure. Refer to 
Table 2 for additional stenting criteria.  
In the event of one lesion to be treated with a 2.0 mm study stent and another lesion to be treated 
with a core size (2.25 mm - 4.0 mm) Resolute Integrity stent, the subject should be treated first 
with the core-sized stent. If the treatment of the first lesion fails or if the subject becomes 
unstable before a 2.0 mm study stent is attempted (stent introduced into guide catheter), the 
subject will not be enrolled, will not be followed, and will not be included in the primary 
analysis of this trial.  Another subject should be enrolled to replace this subject for the primary 
analysis. If the treatment with the 2.0 mm study stent is attempted (stent introduced into guide 
catheter) but not implanted, the subject will be considered part of the Intention-to-Treat 
population (ITT) and will be followed through the 12 month endpoint and will be included in the 
primary analysis of this trial. 
For subjects who have more than one lesion planned for treatment, a positive functional study or 
FFR should be performed in the vessel expected to receive the 2.0 mm study stent to demonstrate 
the functional need for treating such a lesion. 
4.1 Location  
The trial will be conducted within the United States and Japan at a maximum of 25 
investigational sites.   
4.2 Number of Subjects 
At least 100 subjects will be enrolled in the trial. 
4.3 Clinical Trial Duration 
The trial will be conducted to allow data collection and analysis for a minimum of 3 years from 
enrollment of the final subject or until the trial has been formally terminated.   
4.4 Subject Selection 
All subjects presenting to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for possible interventional 
treatment are potential candidates. Those subjects who sign the Institutional Review Board (IRB) 
approved informed consent and subsequently fulfill all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria 
will be enrolled in the trial.

Screening of candidates for this trial should include assessment of the need for anticipated 
treatment of other target vessel lesions likely to be needed within 12 months post-procedure. 
Candidates in whom it is likely that other obstructive lesions will require treatment within the 
target vessel(s) within 12 months post-procedure should not be enrolled in this trial, as 
assessment of key safety endpoints will occur at 12 months post-procedure. 
Per intent-to-treat principles (ITT), subjects who did not have a study stent (Resolute Onyx 2.0 
mm stent) implanted but a study stent was introduced into the guide catheter will be followed 
through 12 months.

TRIAL PROCEDURES 
5.1 Screening and Baseline 
5.1.1 Screening 
All patients evaluated for potential PCI of the coronary arteries should be screened for trial 
eligibility.  A qualified member of the investigational site’s research team will review the 
patient’s medical history and screen for trial eligibility. A screening failure case report form 
(eCRF) will be provided to the site to maintain a record of each patient screened by the site along 
with the reason(s) for trial exclusion.   
5.1.2 Consent 
All subjects must complete the consent process prior to undergoing any trial related procedures 
and prior to receiving any trial related medications.  Sites must comply with 21 CFR 50 and local 
IRB policies for obtaining informed consent.  
In advance of the consent discussion, the subject should receive the Institutional Review Board 
(IRB) approved Subject Informed Consent Form. During the consent discussion the investigator 
or his/her designee (only in geographies where allowed) must fully inform the subject of all 
pertinent aspects of the trial. If a subject is illiterate, an impartial witness must be present during 
the entire informed consent discussion. All items discussed in the Subject Informed Consent 
Form must be explained. The language used shall be as non-technical as possible and must be 
understandable to the subject and the impartial witness, where applicable. Consent forms should 
be made available in subject’s native language.   
Neither the investigator, nor the investigation site staff shall coerce or unduly influence a subject 
to participate or to continue to participate in the clinical trial. The informed consent process shall 
not appear to waive the subject’s rights. 
When the subject decides to participate in the clinical trial, the site’s current IRB and Medtronic 
approved Informed Consent Form must be signed and personally dated by the subject (or their 
legally authorized representative) and investigator/or designee. If applicable, the witness shall 
also sign and personally date the consent form to attest that the information in the Subject 
Informed Consent Form was accurately explained and clearly understood by the subject, and that 
informed consent was freely given. 
After all persons have signed and dated the Informed Consent Form, the investigator/or designee 
must provide the subject with a copy of the signed and dated Subject Informed Consent Form. 
The consent process should be documented in the subject’s medical record. 
5.1.3 Revisions in Subject Informed Consent Form 
Medtronic will inform the investigators whenever information becomes available that may be 
relevant to the subject’s confirmed participation in the trial. The investigator or designee should 
inform the subject in a timely manner.  
Medtronic will revise the written Subject Informed Consent Form whenever new information 
becomes available that may be relevant to the subject’s confirmed participation in the trial. The

revised information will be sent to the investigator for approval by the IRB. After approval by 
the IRB, a copy of this information must be provided to the participating subjects, and the 
informed consent process as described above needs to be repeated.  
5.2 Clinical Laboratory Procedures & Tests 
The clinical procedures that must be performed and laboratory tests that must be drawn for all 
subjects prior to the stenting procedure are listed below and in Table 3. The results for the 
procedures and tests required to assess subject eligibility for enrollment (white blood cell (WBC) 
count, platelet count, creatinine, creatine kinase (CK), Troponin, ECG and pregnancy test (if 
applicable)) must be obtained and reviewed prior to enrollment.  
1. Within 7 days prior to the procedure 
a) 
A laboratory panel including: a white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count, and 
creatinine.  
b) 
A pregnancy test (serum or urine) for women of childbearing potential 
c) 
A 12-lead ECG 
2. Within 72 hours prior to the procedure 
a) 
Creatine kinase and troponin  
Note: If it is not standard hospital practice to measure CK values, CK-MB 
values are sufficient.  All subjects should have Troponin values.

5.3 Medication 
All subjects will receive aspirin (a minimum of 75 mg daily, within 24 hours prior to the 
procedure) and a market approved antiplatelet loading dose within 24 hours prior to the 
procedure or immediately post procedure (within 30 minutes of last catheter removal). If the 
subject has taken at least 3 doses of antiplatelet/thienopyridine within 72 hours prior to the 
procedure, no loading dose is required.

During the index procedure, heparin or bivalirudin will be administered as per hospital standard 
of care.  A GP IIb/IIIa receptor blocker may be administered at the Investigator’s discretion. 
The use of low molecular weight heparin (e.g., Enoxaparin) is not allowed during the index 
procedure for this trial and/or at a therapeutic dose (1 mg/kg) within 24 hours prior to 
procedure. 
Following the procedure, subjects will receive a minimum of 75 mg of aspirin daily indefinitely 
and a market approved thienopyridine daily for a minimum of 6 months in all subjects, and up to 
12 months in subjects who are not at high risk of bleeding, per the ACC/AHA/SCAI 
guidelines49. 
A market approved antiplatelet (clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, ticlopidine, etc) should be 
administered to the subject. 
It is important that the subject is compliant with the post-procedural antiplatelet 
recommendations. Premature discontinuation of prescribed antiplatelet medication could result in 
a higher risk of thrombosis, myocardial infarction or death. Prior to enrollment in this trial, if a 
surgical or dental procedure is anticipated that would require early discontinuation of antiplatelet 
therapy, the Investigator and subject should carefully consider whether participation in the trial 
and the associated recommended antiplatelet therapy is the appropriate choice. Following 
enrollment, should a surgical or dental procedure be recommended, the risks and benefits of the 
procedure should be weighed against the possible risk associated with interruption or premature 
discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy. 
Subjects who require interruption or premature discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy secondary 
to significant active bleeding, should be monitored carefully for cardiac events and, once 
stabilized, have their antiplatelet therapy restarted as soon as possible, per the discretion of their 
treating physicians. 
All antiplatelet/anticoagulant, proton pump inhibitors, beta blockers, ace inhibitors, cox 2 
inhibitors, glycoprotein inhibitors, statins, diabetic medications will be documented on the CRF 
from 24 hours pre-procedure through the 12 month follow-up assessment.  Use of 
antiplatelet/anti-coagulant therapy will be documented throughout the 3 year follow-up period, 
including any interruptions (temporary stop and restart). 
Table 4 summarizes the trial required regimen for antiplatelet medication for subjects enrolled in 
the trial. 
Note: medications and dose as market approved in geography

5.4 Procedure 
Subject preparation and the treatment of the target lesion(s) will be in accordance with standard 
hospital policy for the care of interventional cardiology subjects unless otherwise specified in 
this Investigational Plan. 
The stenting procedure should be performed according to the IFU for the Resolute Onyx stent 
and if applicable, the Angiographic Core Lab procedures in Appendix 7. 
All standard ancillary devices (e.g., guidewires, sheaths/guiding catheters, pre-dilatation 
balloons, etc.) used during the preparation and procedure should be used in accordance with the 
manufacturer’s instructions. 
5.4.1 Subject Preparation and Angiography 
The procedures below will be followed for subject preparation and baseline angiography: 
1. Using standard procedures for balloon angioplasty, an introducer sheath of at least 6 
French will be introduced using the standard approach (either transfemoral, transradial, or 
brachial). 
The guiding catheter used during the stent procedure must be 6 French or larger and the 
guide wire diameter must not be larger than 0.014 in (0.36 mm).

2. Heparin or bivalirudin, with or without a GP IIb/IIIa receptor blocker, will be 
administered and supplemented as needed to maintain anticoagulation throughout the 
procedure.  
3. Following an intracoronary injection of nitroglycerin, baseline angiography of the 
vessel(s) will be performed in at least 2 near-orthogonal views that show the target 
lesion(s) free of foreshortening or vessel overlap, using a 6 French or larger guide 
catheter (see Appendix 7). 
5.4.2 Target Lesion Pre-Treatment 
The target lesion(s) must be pre-dilated with standard percutaneous transluminal balloon 
angioplasty. In accordance with the Instructions for Use, this trial does not allow for direct 
stenting of the target vessel(s). 
Attention must be paid to the pre-dilatation technique in order to avoid balloon injury to any 
segment of the vessel that will not be entirely covered by the stent (“geographical miss”). 
Pre-dilatation must be performed using a balloon with the following three characteristics: 
1. For lesions treated with a 2.0 mm stent, the pre-dilation balloon used must be ≤ 1.75 mm 
in diameter. 
2. A length matching or shorter than the lesion length to be dilated (to avoid dilatation of the 
vessel wall adjacent to the stent) 
3. A length shorter than the stent to be implanted 
The use of other therapy (e.g., cutting balloons, atherectomy, laser, thrombectomy, etc.) is not 
allowed. 
5.4.3 Enrollment 
All subjects who meet general eligibility requirements will be asked to participate. Subjects will 
be considered enrolled into the trial after the following criteria have been met: 
1. The signed informed consent has been obtained 
2. The study stent (Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent) is introduced into the guide catheter 
In cases where the procedure is stopped prior to the study stent being delivered into the guide 
catheter (e.g., subject becomes unstable, power outage, equipment issues, etc.), the subject will 
not be considered enrolled and will be replaced.  
Subject enrollment and stent use information will be submitted to the sponsor on the eCRF 
within 1 working day or as soon as source documents are available. 
5.4.4 Stenting Procedure 
The aim is to maintain a homogeneous treatment strategy, and therefore all lesions should be 
treated with Resolute Integrity (2.25 mm - 4.0 mm) or Resolute Onyx (2.0 mm) stents. Potential 
interaction with other drug-eluting stents or coated stents has not been evaluated, and should be 
avoided.

A stent length should be selected so that the lesion can be covered with a single stent in order to 
avoid the use of multiple stents. Careful stent sizing is important to successful stenting. In 
general, the stent size should be chosen to match the diameter of the reference vessel and to 
correspond with the length of the lesion. The appropriate Resolute Onyx Stent size selected for 
the target lesion must be ≥ 3 mm longer than the lesion length in order to provide 1.5 mm of 
stent coverage on either side of the lesion. 
The stent system will be prepared according to the Resolute Onyx Stent System IFU. The 
prepared delivery system will be advanced over the guide wire, through the guiding catheter to 
the target lesion site. The stent will be positioned across the lesion and placement will be 
confirmed by fluoroscopic angiographic test injections. Deployment of the stent should then be 
performed in accordance with the IFU. 
Available Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent sizes are listed in Table 5.

Post-dilatation may be performed at the Investigator’s discretion with appropriately sized (length 
and diameter) non-compliant balloon to assure that the stent is in full contact with the vessel 
wall.  Do not use the stent delivery balloon for post-dilatation. 
For subjects with planned treatment of two lesions, the first lesion must be treated successfully 
and the subject must be clinically stable before treatment of the second lesion is attempted.    
Successful treatment of the first lesion is defined as: 
• <10% residual diameter stenosis result is achieved (visual assessment) 
• TIMI 3 flow is present post treatment 
• No evidence of dissection (NHLBI Type C, D, E or F), thrombus or distal embolization at 
the first study lesion site post-treatment. 
Prior to attempted treatment of the second study lesion, subjects must be clinically stable without 
angina or ECG changes consistent with coronary ischemia.  If the subject is not clinically stable, 
or shows signs or symptoms of possible coronary ischemia following treatment of the first study 
lesion, treatment of the second lesion should be deferred, if possible.  Subsequent treatment of 
the second lesion should be with a study stent if performed during the trial index procedure.  If 
the second lesion requires treatment after the index procedure, a non-study stent must be used. 
For subjects with planned treatment of only one lesion but during the procedure a second lesion 
meeting trial criteria is identified, a Resolute Integrity (2.25 mm - 4.0 mm) or Resolute Onyx 
(2.0 mm) stent should be used if stenting is needed and treatment cannot be deferred.  If the 
lesion does not meet trial criteria, a non-study stent should be used if stenting is needed and the 
lesion will be considered a non-target lesion for purposes of analysis.

5.4.5 Bailout 
Bailout procedures should be avoided unless required for subject safety. If bailout procedures are 
performed, justification should be documented on the CRF. 
If a subject in the trial experiences a major dissection or an occlusive complication (as evidenced 
by decreased target vessel flow, chest pain, or ischemic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes which 
do not respond to standard rescue techniques), bailout procedures may be performed.  For these 
events occurring during the study procedure, additional stenting with Resolute Integrity (2.25 
mm - 4.0 mm) or Resolute Onyx (2.0 mm) stents may be employed as a bailout treatment.  
In this trial, the target lesion(s) is/are to be selected with the intent to cover each lesion with a 
single stent.  If incomplete coverage occurs during the procedure, additional stenting with study 
stents may be employed to provide complete coverage. 
It is recommended to overlap the Resolute Onyx stents 1-2 mm to avoid the potential for gap 
restenosis.   
5.4.6 Treatment Failure 
Following subject enrollment, study stent(s) that enter the guide catheter and fail to be implanted 
at the intended location are considered treatment failures and will be recorded in the eCRF.  In 
the event of a failure to implant at least one study stent, the Investigator may choose to treat the 
target lesion(s) with any approved stent.  Treatment failures will be followed-up for safety 
purposes through 12-months and will be included in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population.  The 
subject will undergo the follow-up assessments listed in Section 5.6 through the 12 month 
follow-up assessment.    
Note:  Damaged or failed Resolute Onyx Stent Systems (including ancillary 
devices) must be returned to the Medtronic Product Experience Management 
Department per instructions provided by Medtronic.  
5.4.7 End of Procedure 
Upon procedure completion, an intracoronary injection of nitroglycerin must be administered 
and final angiography of the vessel(s) performed in the same two near-orthogonal views that 
were taken at baseline, showing the target lesion(s) free of foreshortening or vessel overlap, 
using a 6 French or larger guiding catheter (see Appendix 7). 
The end of the procedure is defined as the time the guide catheter is removed from the subject. If 
the subject is returned to the procedure room and a guiding catheter is reinserted and a dilatation 
is performed, this should be considered a repeat intervention. 
All adverse events that occur during the procedure must be recorded on the eCRF, including but 
not limited to dissections, acute closures, etc.

5.5 Post-Procedure to Hospital Discharge 
5.5.1 Subject Management 
Immediately after the procedure the following will be performed: 
1. Heparin or bivalirudin (as market approved by geography) should be discontinued 
2. Vascular sheaths should be removed according to standard hospital practice 
3. Approved vascular closure devices may be used at the discretion of the Investigator in 
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions 
5.5.2 Clinical and Laboratory Procedures 
The following clinical and laboratory procedures will be performed:  
1. Qualified study staff at the investigational site will assess the subject’s clinical status 
(including angina) prior to discharge and record any adverse events. 
2. Qualified study staff at the investigational site will review the follow-up requirements 
with the subject to help ensure compliance with the follow-up schedule. Telephone 
numbers and/or e-mail address should be obtained from the subject to ensure the ability 
to contact him or her at the required follow-up times. These phone numbers should 
include all home numbers, work numbers and primary physician numbers. A phone 
number of a relative or friend should also be requested. 
5.5.3 Cardiac Biomarkers 
Creatine Kinase (CK) enzyme and troponin will be measured post-procedure following removal 
of the last catheter as follows: 
• 1st  draw: >3 hours, <12 hours post procedure 
• 2nd  draw: >4 hours after 1st draw, <24 hours post procedure 
Cardiac enzymes/biomarkers will be collected if they are related to a trial primary or secondary 
endpoint, including but not limited to death, (suspected) MI or stent thrombosis.  These may 
include creatine kinase (CK) enzyme, creatine kinase myocardial-band (CK-MB) isoenzyme and 
troponin. 
If it is not standard hospital practice to measure CK values, CK-MB values are sufficient.  All 
subjects should have Troponin values.    
5.5.4 ECG 
A 12-lead ECG will be performed within 24 hours post-procedure or prior to discharge 
whichever comes first.  Additional 12-lead ECGs are required to document any episodes 
suspicious of cardiac ischemia.

5.6 Follow-Up Requirements 
5.6.1 Follow-up General Requirements 
The general requirements for follow-up in this trial include: 
1. Enrolled subjects who received a study stent will be followed for 3 years after the index 
procedure by authorized study staff at the investigational site. See Table 6 for follow-up 
assessment requirements. 
2. Subjects in the 2.0 mm Angio subset will return to the site where the procedure was 
performed for a 13-month clinic visit including an angiogram.  Other follow-up contacts 
will be conducted by telephone, e-mail or clinical visit, unless an unscheduled clinic visit 
occurs during a follow-up window. 
3. A missed follow-up assessment will be documented by the investigator and reported in 
the eCRF, including the reason for the missed follow-up assessment in the subject’s file. 
4. Clinical assessments (e.g., angina status, use of antiplatelet medication, new and ongoing 
adverse events; medical, surgical or dental procedures and the interruption, if any, to 
antiplatelet therapy) must be performed at each follow-up contact and prior to any 
interventional procedure (e.g., angiography, PCI) during the 3-year follow-up period. 
5. Documentation of referring physicians, general practitioners, cardiologists and family 
members should be noted to facilitate continued ability to contact a study subject. Any 
planned long absences by the subject from the area should also be noted. 
6. Angiography should be performed for any post-procedure clinical event (e.g., MI) to 
determine if the event is attributable to the target vessel(s) or a non-target vessel. 
The schedule and method for follow-up contacts and windows for each contact is tabled below.

5.7 Subject Withdrawal / Removal from the Trial 
A trial subject has the right to discontinue participation at any time without penalty or loss of 
benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled. A withdrawn subject will be treated according 
to standard of medical care and will not be replaced. Subjects will be included in the analyses up 
to the time that consent was withdrawn. 
If a subject decides to withdraw from the trial, the investigator will document the reason for 
withdrawal and indicate any rationale for the withdrawal from the trial in the subject’s file. 
Subjects may decide to withdraw from study follow up visits/contacts but consent to continue to 
allow data collection from their medical records. 
Subject Lost-To-Follow-Up (LTFU) should be avoided as much as possible and investigators are 
urged to do their utmost best to maintain subject follow-up compliance. Contacting the subject’s 
general practitioner or referring cardiologist should be considered in case the subject cannot be 
reached in order to obtain information about the subject’s health status and documented in the 
subject’s file. Continuous attempts throughout the three year follow-up period should be made to 
contact the subject, the subject’s family or referring physician before documenting a subject 
LTFU. It is recommended that death study databases (SSDI) should be checked before subjects 
are considered LTFU.

BENEFITS AND RISKS 
6.1 Benefits 
The preclinical data from the Resolute Onyx Stent System to date, in conjunction with the 
extensive body of pharmacokinetic and clinical data from the Resolute Integrity System, 
demonstrate that the benefits of the Resolute Onyx Stent System outweigh the risks.  There are 
no guaranteed benefits from participation in the trial.  The risks of the Resolute Onyx Stent 
System are provided below. 
6.2 Risks 
The risks associated with using this device are those associated with standard percutaneous 
coronary diagnostic and treatment procedures.   
Since the Resolute Onyx Stent System is an investigational device, the risks are not entirely 
known, but are believed to be similar to those that are associated with the standard, customary 
stenting of a stenosed coronary artery. 
All efforts will be made to minimize these risks by selecting Investigators who are experienced 
and skilled in interventional procedures including stenting, by clearly defining 
inclusion/exclusion criteria to ensure only appropriate subjects are enrolled, and by ensuring that 
treatment and follow-up of the subject are consistent with current medical practices.  
6.2.1 Zotarolimus 
Subjects’ exposure to zotarolimus is directly related to the total amount of stent length 
implanted. The actual side effects/complications that may be associated with the use of 
zotarolimus are not fully known. 
The adverse events that have been associated with the intravenous injection of zotarolimus in 
humans include but are not limited to: 
• Anemia 
• Diarrhea 
• Dry Skin 
• Headache 
• Hematuria 
• Infection 
• Injection site reaction 
• Pain (abdominal, arthralgia, injection site) 
• Rash 
6.2.2 BioLinx Polymer Coating 
The types of risks of the BioLinx polymer coating are expected to be no different than those of 
other stent coatings. These risks may include but are not limited to the following: 
• Allergic reaction

• Focal inflammation at the site of stent implantation 
• Restenosis of the stented artery 
• Percutaneous Coronary Diagnostic and Treatment Procedures 
6.2.3 Percutaneous Coronary Diagnostic and Treatment Procedures 
Other risks associated with using this device are those associated with percutaneous coronary 
diagnostic (including angiography and IVUS) and treatment procedures.  These risks (in 
alphabetical order) may include but are not limited to the following: 
• Abrupt vessel closure 
• Access site pain, hematoma or hemorrhage 
• Allergic reaction (to contrast, antiplatelet therapy, stent material, or drug and polymer 
coating) 
• Aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, or arteriovenous fistula (AVF) 
• Arrhythmias, including ventricular fibrillation  
• Balloon rupture 
• Bleeding 
• Cardiac tamponade 
• Coronary artery occlusion, perforation, rupture, or dissection 
• Coronary artery spasm 
• Death 
• Embolism (air, tissue, device, or thrombus) 
• Emergency surgery: peripheral vascular or coronary bypass 
• Failure to deliver the stent 
• Hemorrhage requiring transfusion 
• Hypotension / hypertension 
• Incomplete stent apposition 
• Infection or fever 
• Myocardial infarction (MI) 
• Pericarditis 
• Peripheral ischemia / peripheral nerve injury 
• Renal Failure 
• Restenosis of the stented artery 
• Shock / pulmonary edema 
• Stable or Unstable angina 
• Stent deformation, collapse, or fracture 
• Stent migration or embolization 
• Stent misplacement 
• Stroke / transient ischemic attack 
• Thrombosis (acute, sub-acute or late)

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
The RESOLUTE ONYX 2.0 mm Clinical Study is a single arm, open label multicenter study 
enrolling at least 100 subjects with symptomatic ischemic heart disease attributable to stenotic 
lesions of the native coronary arteries that are amenable to percutaneous treatment with stenting 
with a Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent. 
The primary endpoint to be evaluated in this subset is 12 month Target Lesion Failure (TLF) 
defined as cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TVMI) (Q wave or non-Q wave), 
or clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) by percutaneous or surgical methods.   
7.1 Derivation of Performance Goal 
The primary safety endpoint of Target Lesion Failure (TLF) at 12 months post-procedure will be 
compared to a performance goal derived from outcomes of other Drug Eluting Stents (DES). 
Since a 2.0 mm DES has not yet been approved in the US or Japan, the TLF rates at 12 months 
post-procedure with different 2.25 mm DES stents are selected from literature. The weighted 
average of TLF rate in those stents is 7.9%. 
It is expected that a 2.0 mm stent will have a slightly higher TLF rate because smaller lesions 
will be treated.  Therefore, the expected TLF rate for a 2.0 mm DES is 9.4%.   
The performance goal is set at 19%, which is approximately 100% above the expected TLF rate 
for DES 2.0 mm stent subjects.  
7.2 Sample Size Justification 
If the 12-month TLF rate of the Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent is shown to be significantly less 
than 19%, then the trial will be considered to have met its primary objective. In other words, the 
assessment of TLF is a testing with the following null and alternative hypotheses:  
H0: π ≥ 19% vs. H1: π < 19%,  
where π is the true Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent 12-month TLF rate.   
The assessment of the null hypothesis will be carried out at the one-sided 0.05 level of 
significance.  Rejection of the null hypothesis indicates the Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent 12-
month TLF rate is significantly below 19%. 
Accounting for a 10% clinical loss to follow-up and one-sided 0.05 level of significance, a 
sample size of 100 subjects yields more than 80% power to reject the above null hypothesis in 
favor of the alternative, assuming the true Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent 12-month TLF rate is 
9.4%.

7.3 Analysis Populations 
Intent-to-Treat (ITT): For this trial, all subjects who sign the written informed consent and also 
have the study stent (Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent) introduced into the guide catheter will be 
counted in the ITT set, which will be the primary analysis set.  
Per-Protocol (PP): The ITT population excluding subjects who do not meet certain key entry 
criteria. The primary endpoint will also be analyzed in PP population.  
7.4 Analysis of the Primary Endpoint 
The number and percentage of subjects with 12-month TLF will be provided.  A one-sided upper 
95% confidence interval of the Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent 12-month TLF rate will be 
calculated through binomial (exact) method.  If this upper limit is below 19%, the clinical 
objective will be considered to have been met.   
With regard to clinical outcomes analysis, in subjects receiving treatment of two lesions with a 
Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent, the lesion to be included in the primary analysis, the “analysis 
lesion”, will be randomly selected at the time of analysis. For subjects receiving treatment of a 
Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent and another size stent, the primary analysis will include the lesion 
treated with the 2.0 mm stent, regardless of the other stent size. A secondary analysis will be 
conducted for all target lesions.  
Statistical non-significance in the primary endpoint for gender comparisons will confirm the 
homogeneity by gender in this trial. 
7.5 Analysis of the Secondary Endpoints 
Descriptive statistics for the secondary endpoints will be provided.  Categorical variables will be 
reported using counts and percentages, and continuous variables will be reported by giving the 
number of known values, the mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values. The 
time-sensitive nature of any response variable may be displayed by using a Kaplan-Meier plot. 
7.6 Analysis of Baseline Characteristics 
All clinically relevant baseline variables will be tabulated and reported. Categorical variables 
will be reported using counts and percentages, and continuous variables will be reported by 
giving the number of known values, the mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum 
values. 
7.7 Endpoint Analysis and Reporting of Results 
All statistical analyses will be performed using SAS for Windows (version 9.1 or higher) or other 
widely accepted statistical or graphical software.  Subject data listings and tabular and graphical 
presentations of results will be provided. 
7.8 Missing Data 
Every effort will be undertaken to minimize missing data. In time-to-event outcomes drop-outs 
will be censored at the time of discontinuation, consistent with the Kaplan-Meier approach.

Unless otherwise specified, no statistical techniques will be used to impute missing data for 
continuous or categorical outcomes. The number of subjects included in each analysis will be 
reported so that the reader can assess the potential impact of missing data. 
For the primary endpoint, a sensitivity analysis will be conducted to assess the impact of 
censored data and will include a worst-case analysis.

CLINICAL EVENTS 
8.1  Adverse Events 
8.1.1 Definition 
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or 
untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in subjects, users or other 
persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device. 
Note 1.  This definition includes events related to the investigational medical device or 
the comparator. 
Note 2.  This definition includes events related to the procedures involved.. 
Note 3.  For users or other persons, this definition is restricted to events related to 
investigational medical devices. 
A device related AE is defined as any AE for which a causal relationship between the event and 
the device implantation procedure, the presence of the device, or the performance of the device 
system, is at least a reasonable possibility (i.e., the relationship cannot be excluded). 
A procedure related AE is as any AE associated with the initial placement of the device or any 
necessary secondary interventions. This includes morbidity associated with either anesthesia or 
the procedure. This also includes inappropriate subject selection and errors attributed to 
inappropriate operator techniques, measurements, or judgment. 
8.1.2 Reporting Requirements 
All non-serious AEs occurring from the time of index procedure through 12 months post-
procedure will be recorded in the subject’s medical record and reported on the adverse event 
eCRF within 10 working days after the designated study site personnel first learns of the event.  
A list of AEs that may be associated with the use of the study device and/or the interventional 
procedure is provided in the IFU. Each AE must be evaluated to determine if the event meets the 
definition of serious adverse event (see Section 35). Event, date of onset, duration, and 
relationship to device will be recorded on the eCRF. AEs will be followed until the event has 
resolved (in the case of permanent impairment, the event will be followed until it stabilizes and 
the overall clinical outcome has been ascertained). The AEs must also be reported to the IRB per 
the institution’s policy for reporting AEs.  
8.2  Serious Adverse Events 
8.2.1 Definition 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as an adverse medical occurrence that: 
a) 
led to death 
OR 
b) 
led to a serious deterioration in the health of a subject that either resulted in  
1) a life-threatening illness or injury, or

2) a permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function, or 
3) in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, or  
4) medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or 
permanent impairment to body structure or a body function 
OR 
c) 
led to fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.   
Note: Planned hospitalization for a pre-existing or a procedure required by the 
protocol without serious deterioration in health, is not considered a serious 
adverse event. 
The secondary endpoint, MACE (death, Q- or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, emergent 
CABG or clinically-driven repeat target lesion revascularization by percutaneous or surgical 
method), is considered "serious" by this definition. 
All serious adverse events (SAE) will be reported for the duration of the trial.   
8.2.2 Reporting Requirements 
Any AE meeting any of the above criteria for SAE occurring at any time during the trial must be 
reported by the Investigator or designee, within 3 days after any study site personnel active on 
the Delegation of Authority first learns of the event. The SAE must also be reported to the IRB 
per the institution’s policy for reporting SAEs. 
8.3  Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects 
8.3.1 Definition 
An unanticipated adverse device effect (UADE) is defined as any serious adverse effect on 
health or safety or any life-threatening problem or death caused by, or associated with, a device, 
if that effect, problem, or death was not previously identified in nature, severity, or degree of 
incidence in the investigational plan or application (including a supplementary plan or 
application), or any other unanticipated serious problem associated with a device that relates to 
the rights, safety, or welfare of subjects.  
8.3.2 Reporting Requirements 
All SAEs will be evaluated by the Medtronic Clinical Operations Safety Department (MCO 
Safety) to determine if the SAE meets the definition of a UADE. As outlined in Section 8.2, the 
guideline for reporting all SAEs to Medtronic is within 3 days after the designated study site 
personnel first learns of the event in order to ensure that Medtronic can meet its regulatory 
obligations of reporting. 
8.4 Device Deficiency, Device Failures and Malfunctions 
Manufacturers must report device-related deaths, serious injuries and malfunctions to the FDA 
and other geography authority whenever they become aware of information that reasonably

suggests that the reportable event occurred (one of their devices has or may have caused or 
contributed to the event).  
8.4.1 Definitions  
A device deficiency is defined as an inadequacy of a medical device with respect to its identity, 
quality, durability, reliability, safety or performance.  NOTE: Device deficiencies include 
malfunctions, user errors, and inadequate labeling. 
A device failure is defined as the device is used in accordance with the IFU, but does not 
perform according to IFU and negatively impacts the treatment. 
A device malfunction is defined as an unexpected change to the device that is contradictory to 
the IFU and may or may not affect device performance. 
8.4.2 Reporting Requirements  
All device failures and malfunctions will be reported on the eCRF within 48 hours of the event 
and reported to the IRB (if required) within the IRB required timeframe. 
In the case of a device failure or malfunction related to the investigational device, the 
investigational device and any ancillary devices involved in the incident must be returned to 
Medtronic Product Experience Management per instructions provided by Medtronic.  
8.5 Emergency Contact Details 
For any trial related emergency, the investigators can contact the Medtronic Clinical Research

9.1 Investigator and Investigational Site Selection 
The primary requirements of Investigator selection for this trial are relevant experience, adequate 
institutional facilities and equipment, appropriate site research staff to support the conduct of the 
trial, commitment to safety and adherence to the investigational plan, and patient volume. 
Throughout the conduct of the trial, Medtronic and/or its designees will closely monitor 
compliance with the investigational plan, the applicable laws and regulations, the requirements 
of the IRB, and the terms of the Clinical Trial Agreement. Medtronic may suspend or terminate 
the trial prematurely at any site with repeated occurrences of significant non-compliance. 
9.2 Investigator Responsibility / Performance 
The Investigator is responsible to ensure that all work and services related to this trial described 
herein, or incidental to those described herein, are conducted in accordance with the highest 
standards of medical and clinical research practice, the requirements of the IRB, the 
investigational plan, and the terms of the Investigator Agreement, and all applicable local laws 
and regulations, U.S. Investigational Device Exemption regulations, including: 
• 21 CFR 812: Investigational Device Exemptions  
• 21 CFR 50 (Subpart B): Informed Consent of Human Subjects (21 CFR 50.20 General 
requirements for informed consent) 
• 21 CFR 54 (Part 54): Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators 
Upon completion or termination of the trial, the Investigator will submit a final written report to 
Medtronic and the IRB as required by the IDE regulations in 21 CFR 812.150.  The report will 
be submitted to Medtronic within three (3) months of completion or termination of the trial and 
to the local IRB in accordance with the IRB policies and procedures. 
The Investigator must maintain a Delegation of Authority Form listing appropriately qualified 
persons to whom the Investigator has delegated significant trial related duties. 
9.3 Training of Investigational Sites 
Medtronic and/or its designees are responsible for the training of appropriate clinical site 
personnel. Medtronic or its designees will present a formal training session to review proper 
reporting of adverse events, device usage, uniform data collection and compliance with the 
Investigational Plan (i.e., protocol and consent processes), the device IFU, techniques for the 
identification of eligible subjects, instructions on data collection, schedules for follow-up, and 
applicable regulatory requirements.  The site Principal Investigator is responsible for key center 
personnel to be appropriately trained to the tasks they have been delegated.  The site Principal 
Investigator can conduct full trial training for site personnel who were not trained during the Site 
Initiation Visit. Ongoing assistance regarding completion and submission of eCRFs as well as 
retraining (if necessary) will be provided by Medtronic and/or its designee.

9.4 Monitoring of Investigational Sites 
The trial will be monitored by Medtronic and/or its designee to ensure that high-quality data are 
obtained in compliance with the clinical investigational plan and appropriate regulatory 
requirements.   
Prior to subject enrollment, a study initiation will be completed with each investigational site. 
This initiation serves to ensure that Investigators and study personnel are trained appropriately 
and accept the obligations incurred in conducting this clinical investigation. 
Periodic monitoring visits and/or remote reviews will be made at all active investigational sites 
throughout the clinical trial to ensure that the Investigator obligations are being fulfilled 
according to all applicable regulations and guidelines.  
Upon completion of the clinical trial at a site, a study closeout (remote or on-site) will be 
performed to ensure that the study related files at the investigational site are up to date and 
complete and that any outstanding issues have been resolved. Other topics that will be reviewed 
include: retention of study files, possibility of site audits, publication policy, notifying the IRB of 
study closure, etc.  
9.5 Study Deviations 
A study deviation is defined as an event where the Investigator or site personnel did not conduct 
the study according to the investigational plan, applicable laws or regulations, or the Investigator 
Agreement. 
Regulations require that Investigators maintain accurate, complete and current records, including 
documentation of any deviations from the investigational plan including the date of and reason 
for the deviation. The deviations must also be reported to the sponsor in the eCRF.  
Investigators are required whenever possible to obtain prior approval from the Medtronic 
Clinical Research Department before initiating changes in or deviations from the investigational 
plan, except where necessary to protect the life or physical well-being of a subject in an 
emergency. Such approval will be documented in writing and maintained in the study files. Prior 
approval is generally not expected in situations where unforeseen circumstances are beyond the 
Investigator’s control, (e.g., subject did not attend scheduled follow-up visit, blood sample lost 
by laboratory, etc.), the event, however, is still considered a deviation. 
Deviations shall be reported to Medtronic regardless of whether medically justifiable, pre-
approved by Medtronic, or taken to protect the subject in an emergency. Deviations to protect the 
life or physical well-being of the subject in an emergency must be reported to Medtronic and the 
IRB within 5 working days. 
Subject specific deviations will be reported on the non-compliance eCRF. Deviations that are not 
subject specific (e.g. unauthorized use of an investigational device outside the study, 
unauthorized use of an investigational device by a physician who has not signed an Investigator 
Agreement, etc.) will be reported to Medtronic in writing. Investigators will also adhere to 
procedures for reporting study deviations to their IRB in accordance with their IRB 
requirements.

Page 41 of 76 
The center’s compliance with the clinical investigational plan will be assessed on an ongoing 
basis. Corrective and preventive action plans will be developed and implemented to secure 
compliance. In case of serious noncompliance, the sponsor may decide to stop subject enrollment 
at a center based on its assessment. 
9.6 Device Accountability 
Medtronic or its designee will provide investigational devices to all sites.  Medtronic Clinical 
Customer Service (CCS) or Medtronic Japan will be responsible for inventory control.  Devices 
must be stored in a secure area at the site and be accessible and controlled only by the assigned, 
trained study personnel at the site. The Investigator is responsible for maintaining adequate 
records of the receipt and disposition of all investigational devices.  A device disposition log will 
be provided for this purpose.   
Medtronic and/or its designee will train the Investigator and appropriate site personnel on 
device-tracking instructions and requirements, which will include the site’s record keeping 
responsibilities of receipt and disposition of all investigational devices shipped to and returned 
by the site.  When the study enrollment is complete, the Investigator shall return any unused 
devices, opened or unopened, to the designated device distributor. 
At the end of enrollment and after the site has returned all remaining device inventory, 
Medtronic will send a final device reconciliation report to the Investigator or other site personnel 
designee for review and signature.  The site will return the original signed report to Medtronic 
and maintain a copy of the signed report in their Regulatory Binder. 
Note:  for additional information on shipment, receipt, and return of study 
devices refer to the device tracking instructions contained in the Manual of 
Operations binder. 
9.7 Study/Site Suspension or Early Termination 
Medtronic, IRB and/or the relevant regulatory authorities have the right to suspend or terminate 
this study or a participating site at any time and remove study materials from the site as 
appropriate.  A study/site may be suspended or terminated for any of the following reasons. 
• Unsatisfactory rate of subject enrollment or compliance to eligibility criteria. 
• Repeated noncompliance with the investigational plan. 
• Inaccurate, incomplete, and/or untimely submission of data. 
• The rate of adverse events in the study or other similar studies indicates a potential health 
hazard to the subjects caused by the device. 
• Inadequate accountability of the investigational device. 
In case of study termination subjects may continue to obtain care from their normal provider.  In 
case of site suspension, subjects will be followed by an alternative study site in cooperation with 
their regular provider. 
9.8 Study Close-Out 
Upon completion of the clinical study (when all subjects enrolled have completed the follow-up 
visits and the eCRFs and queries have been completed), Medtronic and/or its designees will

notify the site of closeout and a study closeout visit will be performed. All unused study 
materials and equipment will be collected and returned to Medtronic and/or its designees or 
appropriately discarded as per instruction by Medtronic and/or its designee.  
9.9  Audits / Inspections 
Medtronic initiated audits or regulatory authority initiated inspections at the investigational sites 
may occur during the course or after completion of the study.  In the event that an audit is 
initiated by Medtronic or a designee (only in geographies where approved), the Investigator shall 
allow access to the original medical records and provide all requested information.  In the event 
that an inspection is initiated by a regulatory authority, the Investigator shall immediately notify 
Medtronic of the impending inspection and allow the regulatory body access to the medical 
records and other information as required by applicable laws and regulations. 
9.10 Publication Policies 
Publications based on the results of the study will follow the process outlined in the Clinical 
Research Agreement.  A publication committee may be formed to oversee the preparation of 
manuscripts and identify authors and writers for primary and ancillary publications of the study 
results.   
During the course of or at the conclusion of the study, a multi-center manuscript may be 
prepared for publication in a reputable peer-reviewed scientific journal. The publication of the 
results from any single site experience within the study is not allowed until the preparation and 
publication of the multi-center results has occurred. Exceptions to this rule require the prior 
written approval of Medtronic.   
Additional secondary manuscripts with principal authorship drawn from members of the clinical 
study or other study related individuals or groups are probable. The analysis of other pre-
specified and non-pre-specified endpoints as well as other proposed investigations by members 
of the clinical study or other study related individuals or groups, will require prior approval by 
Medtronic.  For the purpose of timely abstract presentation and publication, such secondary 
publications will be delegated to the appropriate principal authors, and final analyses and 
manuscript review for all multi-center data will require the approval of Medtronic and 
Publications Committee. 
9.11 Data Management 
Medtronic will oversee and/or perform all data management functions.  Data management 
functions include database development, system maintenance, user training, data queries, and 
report generation. 
9.11.1

the study, including assurance that the study will be conducted according to the International 
Conference on Harmonization (ICH) GCP guidelines, US FDA, Japan PMDA and local laws.  In 
this study, Medtronic will have certain direct responsibilities and may delegate other 
responsibilities to consultants and/or contract research organizations. 
The principles of the Declaration of Helsinki have all been implemented in this study by means 
of the subject informed consent process, IRB approval, study training, clinical trial registration, 
preclinical testing, risk benefit assessment, publication policy, etc. 
11.2 General Duties 
Medtronic’s general duties consist of submitting applications and information to appropriate 
regulatory authorities, obtaining regulatory and IRB approvals prior to allowing shipment of 
devices, selecting qualified Investigators, ensuring proper clinical site monitoring, ensuring 
subject informed consent is obtained and ensuring that the IRB and relevant regulatory 
authorities are promptly notified of significant new information about the investigation. 
Medtronic is responsible for providing quality data that satisfies regulations and informing 
Investigators, IRB and relevant regulatory authorities of UADEs/SADEs and deviations from the 
investigational plan as appropriate. The Medtronic Clinical Study Team will provide written 
progress reports and a final report.  
11.3 Subject Confidentiality 
Subject confidentiality will be maintained throughout the clinical study in a way that ensures the 
information can always be tracked back to the source data.  For this purpose, a unique subject 
identification code (subject sequence number) will be assigned and used to allow identification 
of all data reported for each subject.   
Study data may be made available to third parties, e.g., in the case of an audit performed by 
regulatory authorities, provided the data are treated confidentially and that the subject’s privacy 
is guaranteed.  The identity of a subject will never be disclosed in the event that study data are 
published. 
The study sites in the US must comply with the subject confidentiality provisions of the Health 
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) issued by the U.S. Department of Health 
and Human Services (HHS).  Sites should maintain subject privacy in accordance to federal

Definition 
ACUTE CLOSURE 
Acute Closure: 
Defined as the occurrence of new (during the procedure) severely 
reduced flow (TIMI grade 0-1) within the target vessel that persisted 
and required rescue by stenting or other treatment, or resulted in 
myocardial infarction or death. Abrupt closure requires proven 
association with a mechanical dissection of the treatment site or 
instrumented vessel, coronary thrombus, or severe spasm. Abrupt 
closure does not mean “no reflow” (due to microvascular flow 
limitation), in which the epicardial artery is patent but had reduced 
flow. Abrupt closure also does not mean transient closure with reduced 
flow in which the index treatment application does reverse the closure. 
Subacute Closure: 
Defined as abrupt closure that occurred after the procedure is 
completed (and the subject left the catheterization laboratory) and 
before the 30-day follow-up evaluation. 
Threatened Acute 
Closure: 
Defined as a grade B dissection and ≥ 50% diameter stenosis or any 
dissection of grade C or higher. 
ACUTE SUCCESS 
All acute success data will be reported per Medtronic historical protocol definitions and current 
definitions listed below. 
Device Success:  
Medtronic historical definition: attainment of < 50 % residual stenosis of the target lesion using 
only the study device. 
Current definition: the attainment of < 30% residual stenosis by QCA (or < 20% by visual 
assessment) AND TIMI flow 3 after the procedure, using the study device only. These 
measurements will be made by the independent angiographic core laboratory. If the core 
laboratory is unable to assess the % residual stenosis, the investigator's assessment as recorded in 
the CRF will be used for the statistical analysis. 
Lesion Success:  
Medtronic historical definition: attainment of < 50 % residual stenosis of the target lesion using 
any percutaneous method. 
Current definition: the attainment of < 30% residual stenosis by QCA (or < 20% by visual 
assessment) AND TIMI flow 3 after the procedure, using any percutaneous method. These 
measurements will be made by the independent angiographic core laboratory. If the core 
laboratory is unable to assess the % residual stenosis, the investigator's assessment as recorded in 
the CRF will be used for the statistical analysis.

Procedure Success:  
Medtronic historical definition: attainment of < 50 % residual stenosis of the target lesion and no 
in-hospital MACE. 
Current definition: the attainment of < 30% residual stenosis by QCA (or < 20% by visual 
assessment) AND TIMI flow 3 after the procedure, using any percutaneous method without the 
occurrence of MACE during the hospital stay. These measurements will be made by the 
independent angiographic core laboratory. If the core laboratory is unable to assess the % 
residual stenosis, the investigator's assessment as recorded in the CRF will be used for the 
statistical analysis. 
Device Specific Procedure Success:  
Device success and no in-hospital MACE. 
ADVERSE EVENT 
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward 
clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in subjects, users or other persons, 
whether or not related to the investigational medical device.  
  
Note 1.  This definition includes events related to the investigational medical device or the 
comparator. 
Note 2.  This definition includes events related to the procedures involved.. 
Note 3.  For users or other persons, this definition is restricted to events related to investigational 
medical devices. 
 
ANTICIPATED ADVERSE EVENT 
Any undesirable experience (sign, symptom, illness, abnormal laboratory value, or other medical 
event) occurring to a subject, whether or not considered related to the investigational product(s) 
or drug regimen prescribed as part of the clinical protocol, predefined in the clinical protocol 
and/or IFU, that is identified or worsens during a clinical study. 
BINARY ANGIOGRAPHIC RESTENOSIS 
Defined as ≥ 50% in-stent diameter stenosis at the follow-up angiogram. If an in-stent 
measurement is not available, the in-lesion diameter will be used. 
CALCIFICATION 
Calcification is defined as readily apparent radiopacities within the vascular wall at the site of the 
stenosis and is classified as none/mild, moderate (radiopacities noted only during the cardiac 
cycle before contrast injection), and severe (radiopacities noted without cardiac motion before 
contrast injection generally compromising both sides of the arterial lumen).

DEATH 
All deaths are considered cardiac unless an unequivocal non-cardiac cause can be established. 
Specifically, any unexpected death even in subjects with coexisting potentially fatal non-cardiac 
disease (e.g. cancer, infection) should be classified as cardiac. 
Cardiac death 
Any death due to immediate cardiac cause (e.g. MI, low-output failure, 
fatal arrhythmia). Unwitnessed death and death of unknown cause will 
be classified as cardiac death. This includes all procedure related 
deaths including those related to concomitant treatment. 
Vascular death 
Death due to cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary embolism, ruptured 
aortic aneurysm, dissecting aneurysm, or other vascular cause. 
Non-cardiovascular 
death 
Any death not covered by the above definitions, including death due to 
infection, sepsis, pulmonary causes, accident, suicide or trauma. 
DEVICE RELATED ADVERSE EVENT 
A device related adverse event is defined as any adverse event for which a causal relationship 
between the event and the device implantation procedure, the presence of the device, or the 
performance of the device system, is at least a reasonable possibility (i.e., the relationship cannot 
be excluded). 
DEVICE SUCCESS 
Attainment of < 50 % residual stenosis of the target lesion using only the study device. 
DEVICE SPECIFIC PROCEDURE SUCCESS  
Device success and no in-hospital MACE.  
DIABETES MELLITUS11 
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from 
defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. 
Three ways to diagnose diabetes are possible, and each must be confirmed, on a subsequent day, 
by any one of the three methods given: 
1. Symptoms of diabetes plus casual plasma glucose concentration > 200 mg/dl (11.1 
mmol/l). Casual is defined as any time of day without regard to time since last meal. The 
classic symptoms of diabetes include polyuria, polydipsia, and unexplained weight loss. 
2. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) > 126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l). Fasting is defined as no caloric 
intake for at least 8 hours. 
3. Two hour post-load glucose (PG) > 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) during an oral glucose 
tolerance test (OGTT). The test should be performed as described by the World Health

Organization (WHO)12, using a glucose load containing the equivalent of 75 gm 
anhydrous glucose dissolved in water. 
In the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia with acute metabolic decompensation, these 
criteria should be confirmed by repeat testing on a different day. The third measure, OGTT, is 
not recommended for routine clinical use. 
Medtronic working definition of diabetes mellitus: For the purposes of this trial a subject is 
considered to have a history of diabetes mellitus if he/she: is taking insulin, is taking oral 
antidiabetic agents, is on a modified diet to control diabetes mellitus, or has a diagnosis of 
diabetes mellitus documented in the medical record but is untreated, prior to the index procedure. 
Subjects who are taking insulin, or both insulin and oral agents, will be classified as insulin 
dependent. Subjects who are taking oral agents only, a modified diet only, both oral agents and a 
modified diet, or are currently untreated, will be classified as non-insulin dependent. 
DISSECTION, NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) CLASSIFICATION13 
Grade A 
Small radiolucent area within the lumen of the vessel disappearing with the 
passage of the contrast material. 
Grade B 
Appearance of contrast medium parallel to the lumen of the vessel 
disappearing within a few cardiac cycles. 
Grade C 
Dissection protruding outside the lumen of the vessel persisting after passage 
of the contrast material. 
Grade D 
Spiral shaped filling defect with or without delayed run-off of the contrast 
material in the antegrade flow. 
Grade E 
Persistent luminal filling defect with delayed run-off of the contrast material 
in the distal lumen. 
Grade F 
Filling defect accompanied by total coronary occlusion. 
EMERGENT BYPASS SURGERY 
Defined as coronary bypass surgery performed on an urgent or emergent basis for severe vessel 
dissection or closure, or treatment failure resulting in new ischemia. 
FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE 
A measurement of blood flow and blood pressure to determine the need for PCI. 
INCOMPLETE APPOSITION

PERFORATION 
Perforations will be classified as follows: 
Angiographic perforation: 
perforation detected by the clinical site or the core laboratory 
at any point during the procedure. 
Clinical perforation: 
perforation requiring additional treatment (including efforts to 
seal the perforation or pericardial drainage), or resulting in 
significant pericardial effusion, acute closure, myocardial 
infarction, or death. 
Pericardial 
hemorrhage/tamponade: 
perforation resulting in cardiac tamponade.

a) 
led to death 
OR 
b) 
led to a serious deterioration in the health of a subject that either resulted in  
1) a life-threatening illness or injury, or 
2) a permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function, or 
3) in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, or  
4) medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or

STENT THROMBOSIS 
All stent thrombosis data will be reported per the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) 
definitions. 
Academic Research Consortium (ARC) Definition: 
Stent thrombosis should be reported as a cumulative value over time and at the various 
individual time points as specified below. Time 0 is defined as the time point after the guiding 
catheter has been removed and the subject has left the catheterization lab. 
Timing: 
 
Acute stent thrombosis * 
0 – 24 hours post stent implantation 
Subacute stent thrombosis * 
> 24 hours – 30 days post stent implantation 
Late stent thrombosis 
> 30 days – 1 year post stent implantation 
Very late stent thrombosis 
> 1 year post stent implantation 
* Acute or subacute stent thrombosis can also be replaced by the term early stent thrombosis. 
Three categories of evidence define stent thrombosis: Definite, Probable, Possible 
1. Definite (either by angiographic or pathologic confirmation): 
a. 
Angiographic confirmation of stent thrombosis is considered to have occurred if: 
i. Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow is: 
1. TIMI flow grade 0 with occlusion originating in the stent or in the 
segment 5mm proximal or distal to the stent region in the presence of a 
thrombus 
2. TIMI flow grade 1, 2, or 3 originating in the stent or in the segment 5mm 
proximal or distal to the stent region in the presence of a thrombus 
ii. AND at least one of the following criteria has been fulfilled within a 48 hour 
time window: 
1. New onset of ischemic symptoms at rest (typical chest pain with duration >20 
minutes) 
2. New ischemic ECG changes suggestive of acute ischemia 
3. Typical rise and fall in cardiac biomarkers (refer to definition non-procedural 
related MI). 
Note: The incidental angiographic documentation of stent occlusion in the 
absence of clinical signs or symptoms is not considered a confirmed stent 
thrombosis (silent occlusion). 
b. 
Pathologic confirmation of stent thrombosis: 
Evidence of recent thrombus within the stent determined at autopsy or via 
examination of tissue retrieved following thrombectomy. 
2. Probable: 
Clinical definition of probable stent thrombosis is considered to have occurred after 
intracoronary stenting in the following cases: 
a. 
Any unexplained death within the first 30 days.

Page 67 of 76 
b. 
Irrespective of the time after the index procedure any myocardial infarction (MI), 
which is related to documented acute ischemia in the territory of the implanted 
stent without angiographic confirmation of stent thrombosis and in the absence of 
any other obvious cause. 
3. Possible: 
Clinical definition of possible stent thrombosis is considered to have occurred with any 
unexplained death from 30 days following intracoronary stenting until end of trial follow- 
up. 
STROKE 
Defined as sudden onset of vertigo, numbness, dysphasia, weakness, visual field defects, 
dysarthria or other focal neurological deficits due to vascular lesions of the brain such as 
hemorrhage, embolism, thrombosis, or rupturing aneurysm, that persists more than 24 hours. 
STUDY DEVIATION 
A study deviation is defined as an event where the Investigator or site personnel did not conduct 
the trial according to the investigational plan, applicable laws or regulations, or the Investigator 
Agreement. 
STUDY STENT 
A study stent is defined as the Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm stent. 
TARGET LESION 
Any lesion treated or attempted to be treated during the study procedure. The target lesion is the 
treated segment starting 5 mm proximal to the stent and ending 5 mm distal to the stent. 
TARGET LESION FAILURE (TLF) 
Defined as cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (Q wave and non-Q wave), or 
clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) by percutaneous or surgical methods 
TARGET LESION REVASCULARIZATION (TLR) 
Repeat PCI or CABG to the target lesion. See also clinically-driven target lesion 
revascularization. 
TARGET VESSEL 
The arterial segment and any branches and/or parent vessel that possess the target lesion.  For 
this study, the target vessel can only be the left main (protected), LAD, Cx, RCA. Side branches 
less than 2.0 mm in diameter will not be considered ‘significant’ and therefore the disease in 
these vessels will not be considered significant.

TARGET VESSEL FAILURE (TVF) 
The composite endpoint comprised of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or 
clinically-driven target vessel revascularization by percutaneous or surgical methods. 
Target vessel failure will be reported when ANY of the following events occur: 
• Recurrent MI occurs in territory not clearly attributed to a vessel other than the target 
vessel.  
• Cardiac death not clearly due to a non-target vessel endpoint. 
• Target vessel revascularization is determined. 
TARGET VESSEL MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (TVMI) 
Target-vessel MI is defined as a MI that occurs in a territory that cannot be clearly attributed to a 
vessel other than the target vessel. 
TARGET VESSEL REVASCULARIZATION (TVR) 
Repeat PCI or CABG of the target vessel. See also clinically-driven target vessel 
revascularization. 
THROMBOLYSIS IN MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (TIMI) CLASSIFICATION15 
TIMI 0 
No perfusion. 
TIMI 1 
Penetration with minimal perfusion. Contrast fails to opacify the entire bed 
distal to the stenosis for the duration of the cine run. 
TIMI 2 
Partial perfusion. Contrast opacifies the entire coronary bed distal to the 
stenosis. However, the rate of entry and/or clearance is slower in the coronary 
bed distal to the obstruction than in comparable areas not perfused by the 
dilated vessel. 
TIMI 3 
Complete perfusion. Filling and clearance of contrast equally rapid in the 
coronary bed distal to stenosis as in other coronary beds.

THROMBUS (INTRACORONARY)16 
Non-occlusive thrombus: 
Intracoronary thrombus is defined as a (spheric, ovoid or 
irregular) non-calcified filling defect or lucency surrounded by 
contrast material (on three sides or within a coronary stenosis) 
seen in multiple projections, or persistence of contrast material 
within the lumen, or a visible embolization of intraluminal 
material downstream. 
Occlusive thrombus: 
TIMI 0 or TIMI 1 intra-stent or proximal to a stent up to the 
most adjacent proximal side branch or main branch (if 
originating from the side branch). 
TOTAL OCCLUSION 
A total occlusion is defined as a lesion with no flow (TIMI 0). Total occlusions are usually 
classified as persisting less than or more than 3 months (chronic total occlusion). 
TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK (TIA) 
A TIA is defined as a focal neurological abnormality of sudden onset and brief duration (lasting 
less than 24 hours) that reflect dysfunction in the distribution of the effected artery. TIAs include 
transient monocular blindness (e.g., amaurosis fugax defined as a transient episode of monocular 
blindness, or partial blindness, lasting ten minutes or less) and transient hemispheric attacks. 
UNANTICIPATED ADVERSE DEVICE EFFECT (UADE) 
An UADE is defined as any serious adverse effect on health or safety or any life-threatening 
problem or death caused by, or associated with, a device, if that effect, problem, or death was not 
previously identified in nature, severity, or degree of incidence in the investigational plan  or 
application (including a supplementary plan or application), or any other unanticipated serious 
problem associated with a device that relates to the rights, safety, or welfare of subjects. 
UNSTABLE ANGINA 
Per the ACC/AHA 2002 Guideline Update for the Management of Subjects with Unstable 
Angina and Non–ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction there are three (3) principal 
presentations of unstable angina (UA)17: 
1. Rest Angina. Angina occurring at rest and prolonged, usually >20 minutes. 
2. New-onset Angina. New-onset angina of at least CCS Class III Severity. 
3. Increasing Angina. Previously diagnosed angina that has become distinctly more 
frequent, longer in duration, or lower in threshold (i.e., increased by greater than or equal 
to 1 CCS class to at least CCS Class III severity).

Study Criteria – Applicable to US sites only 
Medicare Beneficiaries 
The results of this study are expected to be applicable to a significant number of Medicare 
beneficiaries based on incidence of cardiovascular disease, number of percutaneous coronary 
interventions, and number of patients with relevant luminal reference diameters of the culprit 
coronary artery in this population.  
A 2010 report published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found that coronary heart 
disease was the most common subtype of heart disease hospitalization, representing 42.0 % of all 
Medicare heart disease hospitalizations.(1) 
Analyses of percutaneous coronary interventions among Medicare beneficiaries showed the 
following number of PCI episodes (both admission and non-admission) from 2008 to 2012 (2):  
• 2008: 423,789 PCI episodes 
• 2009: 426,518 PCI episodes 
• 2010:  434,134 PCI episodes 
• 2011: 417,963 PCI episodes 
• 2012:  401,929 PCI episodes 
These numbers are expected to increase over the next 15 years based on the baby boom 
generation reaching Medicare age, as well as the current incidence of cardiac revascularizations 
performed on Medicare beneficiaries. (2) 
With regard to the specific populations that may benefit from the Resolute Onyx 2.0 mm, 
diameter device, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology published a study showing 
that among a study of 2,306 patients, 35% (n=813 patients) with a mean age of 65 were found to 
have a luminal reference diameters of less than or equal to 2.5 mm. (3)
