Boston Scientific Corp. said it agreed to acquire closely held Sadra Medical Inc. for as much as $386 million to compete in the $2.1 billion market for transcathether heart valves that don’t require open-heart surgery.

Boston Scientific Chief Executive Ray Elliott told investors earlier today the company’s “priority growth initiatives” would include products targeting asthma, diabetes, obesity and “structural heart” therapies. Sadra’s less-invasive valve system is a structural heart therapy.
