Boston Scientific flew from Cincinnati to Minneapolis on June 15, 2026, a 1-hour-59-minute hop aboard its Bombardier Challenger 650 (N650BS) that touched down near the Twin Cities just before 10 a.m. local time.

The same week, Boston Scientific is following up on its $1.5 billion strategic investment in MiRus LLC, announced on May 18, per a company press release. MiRus, which develops a nickel-free TAVR system called SIEGEL, is based in the Minneapolis area, and the trip comes as Boston Scientific navigates a pacemaker recall and doubles down on cardiac M&A, as reported by MedTech Insight on May 21.

This is not an isolated visit: Boston Scientific's aircraft flew from Minneapolis to Rhode Island on May 12 and from the same region to Boston on June 8, suggesting regular engagement with the medical device ecosystem in Minnesota, where the company's cardiology and structural heart teams maintain close ties.
