Boston Scientific has announced the key data that will be presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics conference (TCT 2019; 25–29 September, San Francisco, USA).
Data from the EVOLVE Short DAPT study, evaluating the safety of early dual antiplatelet therapy discontinuation in a large number of patients with high bleeding risk treated with the SYNERGY™ bioabsorbable polymer (BP) stent, will be featured during a late-breaking science session on Thursday 26 September.
“We look forward to the presentation of late-breaking data on our SYNERGY stent and the important discussions these data will warrant around the advancement of therapies to treat coronary artery disease,” said Ian Meredith, executive vice president and global chief medical officer at Boston Scientific. “We also will celebrate the milestone of 100,000 patient implants of the WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure device worldwide, and anticipate new clinical data across our Interventional cardiology portfolio, further supporting physicians as they determine the most appropriate treatment strategies for patients with cardiovascular disease.”
