Boston Scientific Announces Scheduled Presentations At TCT 2015

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) today announced key data presentations spanning its broad interventional cardiology, structural heart and peripheral interventions portfolios to be shared at the 27th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, to be held in San Francisco October 11-15.

Scheduled abstracts will evaluate Boston Scientific technologies for treating patients with a range of cardiovascular diseases, and explore topics including:

• The costs associated with bleeding complications due to warfarin versus the WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March, 2015 to reduce the risk of stroke in people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation;
• Lotus™ Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) System safety and efficacy data from the REPRISE I and REPRISE II studies; and
• Long-term safety and efficacy data out to five years with the PROMUS Element^® Platinum Chromium Everolimus-Eluting Stent.

Earlier this week, the company received FDA approval of the SYNERGY™ Bioabsorbable Polymer Drug-Eluting Stent System (BP-DES) for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The commercialization of the first and only BP-DES in the U.S. reinforces the depth and breadth of the Boston Scientific innovative cardiology portfolio. 

"The recently approved and first-to-market WATCHMAN Device and SYNERGY Stent are opening doors for cardiologists to treat patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease in new and innovative ways," said Keith Dawkins, M.D., global chief medical officer, Boston Scientific. "In addition to exploring these prevalent health conditions at TCT, we will also share data crucial to the advancement of device-related treatment for patients suffering from aortic valve disease and peripheral arterial disease."
