Edwards Lifesciences' stock saw a positive impact on May 28, 2025, following Boston Scientific's announcement that it would cease selling its rival transcatheter aortic heart-valve replacement (TAVR) systems. This strategic exit by a competitor is expected to reduce competitive pressures in the TAVR market.
Boston Scientific's decision to withdraw its TAVR systems from the market creates an opportunity for remaining players, including Edwards Lifesciences, to capture additional market share. This development could lead to increased procedure volumes and revenue for Edwards' leading SAPIEN TAVR platform.
The TAVR market is a core business for Edwards, and the reduction in competition is a significant positive. This shift in the competitive landscape further solidifies Edwards' leadership position and is anticipated to contribute to its continued growth in the structural heart device sector.
