Volcano Corporation Research Report
On May 23, 2013, Volcano Corporation (Volcano) announced its preliminary results from the Adenosine Vasodilator Independent Stenosis Evaluation (ADVISE) II trial during the clinical trial session at EuroPCR 2013. "An important step in the validation of any new technology is to identify a hypothesis based on observations, and to then prospectively test the hypothesis in a large number of centers to see if the observations translate to real-world practice," commented Javier Escaned, MD, PhD, Interventional Cardiologist at Hospital Clínico San Carlos, Madrid, Spain. "The ADVISE II study is the first prospective test of the true iFR algorithm that is analyzed through an independent physiology core lab (Cardialysis, Rotterdam, Netherlands). These preliminary results show that the prior observations can be replicated prospectively, and that a Hybrid iFR/FFR approach can provide a greater than 90% agreement with FFR while saving the use of hyperemic agent in more than half of patients."

Cyberonics Inc. Research Report
On May 28, 2013, Cyberonics, Inc. (Cyberonics) announced the receipt of a letter from the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) declining the Company's request to reconsider the 2007 National Coverage Determination for the treatment-resistant depression indication. "Cyberonics is very disappointed in the position taken by CMS that the new evidence accumulated over the past five years and recently published in four peer-reviewed journals does not support reconsideration of the non-coverage decision. We believe the total body of evidence that began appearing in the scientific literature in 1998 presents compelling rationale for access to VNS Therapy in a very ill subpopulation of Medicare beneficiaries," said Dan Moore, Cyberonics' President and Chief Executive Officer. "The company plans to work with other interested parties to continue to pursue access to this important therapeutic option for patients who could benefit from VNS Therapy, including carefully evaluating all options for appealing this decision." The Company will provide additional information at its financial results conference call on June 5, 2013.
