Boston Scientific chairman and CEO Mike Mahoney said: “This collaboration between Mayo Clinic and Boston Scientific builds on our experience working together to support the shared goal of advancing patient-centred innovation.

“This approach combines the unique strengths of our two organisations, and we look forward to working together to solve complex healthcare challenges.”

Boston Scientific develops a variety of medical solutions for endoscopy, rhythm management, interventional cardiology, peripheral interventions, neuromodulation, urology and pelvic health.

In November last year, the company signed an agreement to buy BTG for £3.3bn. BTG has three main businesses and Interventional Medicine is said to be the largest.

The acquisition is expected to help boost Boston Scientific’s capabilities in cancer and pulmonary embolism.
