NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Edwards Lifesciences Corporation. ("Edwards Lifesciences" or the "Company") (NYSE: EW). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.

The investigation concerns whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts related to the prospects, projected sales and adoption of the Company's Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter aortic heart valve, including the related transfemoral and transapical delivery methods ("SAPIEN"), and related projections of financial performance for the Company's operations. On April 23, 2013, the Company disclosed that approximately 20 candidate hospitals had postponed SAPIEN training, that there was substantially no backlog of patients awaiting SAPIEN implants, and that the Company's financial results had been and would likely continue to be weaker than estimates. In response to this news, Edwards Lifesciences' stock price fell $18.21 per share, or 21.99 percent, to close at $64.60 per share on April 24, 2013 on extremely heavy trading volume.
