Hello Dr. Rajamannan,

We made an official note in the AATS’s official ethics records and we were able to pull it off our website effective
immediately. I can certainly check on the feasibility of adding in language on specificities. In regards to the abstract, if
that is published anywhere on our website please let me know and this will be addressed as well.

Regards,

Adam

Dear Adam

Did you publish an errata as the reason to remove my name for the termination of the IRB protocol 1532-004?

Hello Dr. Rajamannan,

We were able to remove your name from the Program Book on the AATS website. I am looking into whether it is
listed in other places. If you know of any please let me know.

Dear AATS Journals

Sending you a copy of the publication in the AATS Journal: the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery.

I am requesting that my name is removed from the abstract, for failure by the Principle Investigator and Senior
authors to obtain informed consent and an IDE.

Evidence has been presented to the AATS ethics committee, with no response.

I am requesting my name be removed immediately.

Nalini M. Rajamannan, MD

Dear Dr. Weisel

I am an author on the original abstract published in the American Association of Thoracic Surgeons, and again I am
requesting that you remove my name from the second author position on the abstract published in May 2007.

Please review attached abstract.
