Executive Summary
Guidant achieved sales for the first six months of this year almost as large as its entire annual sales of two years ago and made nearly as much profit as 1997's full year figures. The second quarter, with sales up 73% and earnings rising 137% on the same period last year, prompted the company's chairman, James Cornelius, to call the results so far this year "truly extraordinary".
