MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) today announced key data that will be presented at the 30th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, in San Diego, on September 21 - September 25.

Data from the head-to-head IMPERIAL trial evaluating the ELUVIA™ Drug-Eluting Vascular Stent System and the Zilver® PTX® Stent for treatment of superficial femoral or proximal popliteal lesions will be featured during a late-breaking clinical trial session on Saturday, September 22. Two-year outcomes data from the REPRISE III study, a head-to-head comparison of the LOTUS™ Aortic Valve System to the CoreValve™ Evolut™ R in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, will also be highlighted at the meeting. 

"The data being presented at TCT will provide important clinical evidence to assist physicians to make informed treatment decisions for the patients they serve," said Professor Ian Meredith, M.D., executive vice president and global chief medical officer, Boston Scientific. "We look forward to sharing the findings from the IMPERIAL trial, a first-of-its-kind large randomized safety and effectiveness trial, studying the use of drug-eluting stents for peripheral artery disease. Our investment in these key studies exemplifies our continued commitment to advancing science in the field of interventional vascular therapies, and ultimately, improving care for all patients."
