The global implantable ports & needles market size is estimated to increase over the forecast period to reach over $630 million in 2026.  The majority of the global implantable ports & needles market market share was controlled by Becton Dickinson, B. Braun and Smiths Medical. Overall, this global market research includes an analysis of implantable

Industry Trends There is a risk that the placement or introduction of a device during an interventional coronary procedure can dislodge thrombi or emboli, which could create health risks for the patient that the interventional procedure is intended to prevent. In response to these concerns, many different approaches were taken to deal with this problem,

The transcatheter embolization market is segmented into four types of devices: particle embolics, coil embolics, liquid embolics and vascular plugs. Detachable balloons are also used for embolization procedures, but are not covered in this report because they are rarely used.

The global stent graft market size is expected to reach over $4.8 billion by 2026, while the surgical graft market size is projected to exceed $117 million. Currently, the majority of the global stent market share is controlled by Medtronic and W.L.Gore. AAA stent grafts continued to comprise the largest segment of the stent grafts

Thrombosis is defined as the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, which obstructs the flow of blood. Thrombus can become life threatening if it dislodges from the vessel wall and enters the lungs or other vital organ. A fragment of thrombus traveling through the vascular system is called an embolus.

Stents are commonly used as complementary devices during conventional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheterization in peripheral vascular procedures. The placement of a stent mitigates some complications, such as negative remodeling and elastic recoil effects.

This global market research includes conventional EP catheters and advanced EP catheters analyzed as a combined market segment. The analysis also covers radiofrequency (RF) cardiac ablation catheters and cryoablation catheters.

This global market research includes 0.014”-0.035” balloons, high-pressure balloons, large balloons greater than 12mm in diameter and specialty balloons. Specialty balloons include cryoplasty balloons, cutting balloons, scoring balloons and other balloons. The analysis also include DCBs used in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and in AV access procedures.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can be used as an alternative or adjunctive imaging technique in peripheral procedures. IVUS provides the physician a cross-sectional image of the vessel. An IVUS system consists of two components: the disposable IVUS catheter and the IVUS console.

Introducer sheaths are used for facilitating the insertion of devices into vasculature. These devices include guidewires and catheters that are used during peripheral interventional procedures. In addition, these devices also simplify the application of patches and closure devices to allow hemostasis to occur.

Inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) prevent pulmonary embolism by intercepting a thrombus before it can enter the circulatory system of the lungs. In general, IVCFs are composed of a nest or lattice of wire collapsed around a catheter that is used to guide the filter. The filter is then expanded or deployed at the desired location, usually just below the junction of the inferior vena cava and the lowest renal vein.

Guidewires are used extensively both in diagnostic and interventional peripheral vascular procedures to deliver treatment options. The guidewire market can best be segmented into standard (non-hydrophilic) or hydrophilic guidewires. Standard guidewires are the predominant type because they can handle more pressure than their hydrophilic counterparts.

Carotid stenting can be accompanied with plaque dislodgment and plaque emboli. Thus, the initial popularity of carotid stents was tainted as these artifacts caused an unacceptably high incidence rate of strokes. Since then, the industry has responded by manufacturing embolic protection devices (EPDs). These devices are used to capture dislodged vascular debris.

Drug-coated balloons have emerged as a promising technology for treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD). These devices are similar to traditional balloon dilation catheters, but feature a drug coating designed to combat restenosis. As of January 2018, DCBs are approved in the United States for use in treating lesions of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and in AV access procedures. However, several companies are in the process of obtaining approval for BTK use of DCBs.

The catheter market comprises two segments: diagnostic and interventional catheters. Diagnostic catheters are used in combination with X-ray imaging to visualize the main arteries. The screening requires the insertion of contrast agent into the patient’s veins in order to evaluate and monitor the flow of blood. This technique is referred to as angiography or arteriography. With the aid of guidewires and catheters, the contrast agent labels the patient’s vasculature

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure performed to clean plaque off the carotid artery walls, thus reducing the risk of stroke. A vascular surgeon may recommend a carotid endarterectomy if a patient exhibits a moderate (50-70%) or severe (80% or greater) blockage of a carotid artery.
