Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) price target of $86.00.

Analyst, Jason R. Mills, said, "Two-year follow up on Cohort A patients will be presented at the ACC meeting next week in Chicago. We expect TAVI to maintain non-inferiority to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). We think trans-femoral (T-F) patients will continue to show a better mortality rate than those who received SAVR. However, unlike Cohort B two-year results, we do not expect a widening of TAVI’s benefit vs. control, given differing patient populations and control treatment in Cohorts A vs. B. We maintain our bullish stance on the stock for long-term investors, but continue to think consensus TAVI estimates for 2012 are too high. We would be constructive on any weakness near term."
