Data will be presented from the TAXUS I, II, IV and VI clinical trials. A major focus will be detailed analysis of Boston Scientific's pivotal TAXUS IV trial data, which is featured in nine presentations, including those on two-year durability, nine-month angiographic follow-up, longer stent lengths, patients with acute coronary syndrome, late loss, renal insufficiency, cost effectiveness and gender-based outcomes.
The TAXUS clinical trials represent the largest body of randomized drug-eluting stent data available today. Together with its "real-world" registries, Boston Scientific has collected data on approximately 11,000 patients. (A registry program enlists clinicians to document the performance of a specific therapy for a particular disease or condition.)
