previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be 
published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you 
should always check the Agency's website at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees and scroll down to the appropriate advisory 
committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee information line 
to learn about possible modifications before the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

artery bypass grafting or by percutaneous coronary intervention.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post

the time of the advisory committee meeting, and the background 
materials will be posted on FDA's website after the meeting. Background

    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
