Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) price target of $85.00.

Analyst, Jason R. Mills, said, "EW remains one of our two 2012 “Best Ideas.” We would be buyers of the stock at current levels, as we anticipate solid Cohort A T/A data to be presented this afternoon at the STS meeting in Florida, and expect an FDA Panel to recommend approval for both T/A and T/F once a Panel is called (expected March/April)."

"No new SAPIEN data was presented at yesterday's Tech Con (the prelude to the Society of Thoracic Surgeon meeting, which begins today); however, our checks with TAVI thought leaders indicate increasing expectations FDA will approve SAPIEN both trans-femoral (T/F) and trans-apical (T/A) in high risk (Cohort A) patients."
