Boston Scientific (BSX): Study favors Taxus over certain other stents

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX : Boston Scientific Corporation
3:24pm 01/16/2007

BSX on Friday said an independent study showed that its Taxus paclitaxel-eluting stent exhibited a lower re-intervention rate and equal or lower instances of death or heart attack than the Cypher sirolimus-eluting stent and bare-metal stents. The results of the study were published in the Jan. 1 edition of the European Heart Journal. "We are pleased that this real-world study reconfirms the strong safety and efficacy profile of paclitaxel-eluting stent systems we have seen across our broad range of clinical trials as well as in the millions of Taxus stent systems implanted to date," said Hank Kucheman, group president of the company's interventional cardiology business, in a statement.
