The health care giant says it will pay $380 for each Biomed share and also provide another $35 per share in cash if some commercial and clinical milestones are met. Abiomed provides technology that treats coronary artery disease and heart failure. Abiomed sales jumped 22% to exceed $1 billion in its most recent fiscal year.
