Overall, we generated net sales of $3.389 billion during the first quarter of 2023, growing 14 percent on an organic[1] basis compared to the prior year period.

We also achieved net sales growth in each of our two business segments, with 13.4 percent organic growth in MedSurg and 14.4 percent organic growth in Cardiovascular compared to the prior year period.

"I’m pleased with our excellent results this quarter, which highlight our team’s strong performance across each business and region," said Mike Mahoney, chairman and chief executive officer, Boston Scientific. "With a robust pipeline in 2023 and beyond, I’m optimistic about our ability to continue to deliver differentiated financial performance and the opportunity to reach more patients with life-changing therapies."

Additional highlights:

  • We released our 2022 Performance Report, measuring progress on the ways in which the company is transforming care, investing in employees, protecting the environment and creating value responsibly.
  • We closed the acquisition of Apollo Endosurgery, Inc., expanding the Boston Scientific endoluminal surgery portfolio and enabling entry into the endobariatric market.
  • We received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance and launched in the U.S. and Japan the LithoVue™ Elite Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope System, the first ureteroscope system with a built-in sensor that enables urologists to monitor intrarenal pressure in real time during ureteroscopy procedures.
