MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) today announced key data which will be presented at the 28th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, in Washington, D.C., on October 29 – November 2.

Notably, WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device data will be featured in a late-breaking clinical trial session on Wednesday, November 2, and will highlight the procedural safety of the device since it became commercially available in the U.S. in March 2015. Additionally, the PLATINUM Diversity trial which examined acute procedural performance with the Promus PREMIER™ Everolimus-Eluting Stent in women and minorities – historically underrepresented patient populations in clinical trials – will be presented at the first report investigation session on Tuesday, November 1.

Other oral presentations of interest include PREVAIL three-year and PROTECT AF five-year follow-up data related to long-term event rates for LAA closure with the WATCHMAN device and three-year outcomes of the Lotus™ Valve System in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis.

"Over the course of my thirty-year career as an interventional cardiologist and chief medical officer, there has been a renaissance in the treatment of heart disease – with a surging reliance on minimally-invasive devices to deliver the outcomes previously achieved with surgery," said Keith Dawkins, M.D., global chief medical officer, Boston Scientific. "In addition to enhancing the established body of clinical evidence for our products which treat coronary and peripheral artery disease, this meeting will demonstrate the exceptional advancement of our Structural Heart portfolio – comprised of the Lotus Valve System for transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and the WATCHMAN device, the only FDA-approved LAAC device."
