Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On November 15, 1999, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as
of August 30, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Guidant Corporation,
an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), Clydesdale Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and
CardioThoracic Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CTS"), Merger Sub was
merged with and into CTS, which thereby became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company (the "Merger").

     CTS stockholders approved the Merger at a special meeting of stockholders
held on November 15, 1999. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, CTS
stockholders received 0.3611 of a share of the common stock, without par value,
of the Company (the "Company Common Stock") for each share of common stock, par
value $0.001, of CTS (the "CTS Common Stock") held by them. The Company will
issue approximately 5,321,457 shares of Company Common Stock to the stockholders
of CTS in the Merger, representing approximately 1.76% of the Company Common
Stock outstanding prior to consummation of the Merger. The aggregate
consideration for the outstanding shares of CTS Common Stock was determined
based upon arms'-length negotiation between the Company and CTS. The acquisition
will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.

     Prior to the Merger, no material relationship existed between CTS and the
Company, or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the Company or any
associate of any such director or officer, except as set forth in this
paragraph.  On May 3, 1999, CTS and the Company entered into an agreement under
which CTS granted to Origin Medsystems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, temporary license to certain
intellectual property rights that may be necessary for the manufacture, use and
sale of the VASOVIEW(TM) Saphenous Vein Harvesting System. CTS extended the
license under the Merger Agreement through the date of the Merger, and the
Company agreed to pay royalties to CTS, beginning on September 1, 1999, based on
net sales. The amount of the royalties were equal to CTS' obligations to pay
royalties to the third party from whom CTS has acquired the intellectual
property.

     CTS designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary, disposable
instruments and systems for performing minimally invasive cardiac surgery.  CTS'
current products are designed to enable the majority of cardiothoracic surgeons,
using their existing skills coupled with CTS sponsored training, to perform
minimally invasive cardiac surgery on a beating heart.  The Company intends to
continue such business.

Item 5.  Other Events.

     Attached as Exhibit 99.2 are the Company's quarterly Consolidated
Statements of Income restated for the acquisition of CTS for the three months

Company Press Release


                     Guidant Completes its Acquisition of
                         CardioThoracic Systems, Inc.

     INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. and MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BW Health Wire)-- Nov. 15,
1999--Guidant Corporation (NYSE:GDT - news; PCX:GDT), a world leader in the
treatment of cardiovascular and vascular disease, today announced that it has
completed its purchase of CardioThoracic Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTSI - news), a
pioneer in less invasive cardiac surgery.  This acquisition, which was
originally announced August 30 of this year, was completed with today's vote of
approval by CTS shareholders.

     CTS is a leading developer of proprietary technologies for use in less-
invasive cardiac surgery.  It introduced its first-generation system for less
invasive beating-heart bypass surgery in 1996.  Since that time, CTS has shipped
more than 40,000 beating-heart bypass systems.  CTS employs approximately 160
people at its Cupertino, CA headquarters.

     "The acquisition of CTS provides an outstanding platform for Guidant's
growth in cardiac surgery," said Ronald W. Dollens, Guidant's president and
chief executive officer.  "CTS has been a recognized leader in minimally
invasive cardiac surgery.  By integrating the talents and resources of CTS into
our Cardiac & Vascular Surgery Group, we will be combining the efforts of two
innovative organizations to offer an unmatched mix of novel products to meet the
needs of an increasing number of patients, physicians and hospitals around the
world."

     CTS has developed a broad range of products to advance the field of less
invasive cardiac surgery.  It pioneered the coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) procedure performed on a beating heart, with the CTS OPCAB and CTS MIDCAB
access platform and stabilizer systems.  The procedure enables the CABG
procedure to be completed without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, potentially
reducing post-operative hospital stay and surgical complications while
preserving the high-quality clinical outcomes associated with conventional CABG.

     It also established a leadership position in the rapidly growing beating-
heart segment of the CABG market, with several hundred cardiac centers currently
using CTS products.  The company has also recently introduced the VOYAGER Aortic
IntraClusion Device for less invasive valve and arrested-heart CABG procedures.

     "This acquisition represents not only a significant growth opportunity for
Guidant, it also provides an immediate opportunity to expand our presence with
the cardiac surgeon, an important new customer to us," said Jay Watkins,
president of Guidant's Cardiac & Vascular Surgery Group.  "In addition, it
provides the opportunity and capability to expand our technology development in
several important directions."

     Guidant's purchase of CTS represents another significant milestone in the
company's strategic focus of developing market leadership in the areas of
cardiac and vascular surgery.

     "The acquisition of CTS' cardiac surgery technology creates multiple
opportunities for innovation by our Cardiac & Vascular Surgery Group," said
James M. Cornelius, chairman of Guidant's Board of Directors.  "The combined
products that the C&VS Group will bring forward in minimally invasive surgery
will create the strategic focus and product pipeline similar to our Vascular
Intervention and Cardiac Rhythm Management business groups."

     A global leader in the medical device industry, Guidant provides
innovative, minimally invasive and cost-effective products and services for the
treatment of cardiovascular and vascular disease.  For more information about
