There is an emerging trend towards the use of minimally invasive procedures to treat heart conditions. The aging population is driving the market since the elderly in need of treatment are often not suitable for open heart surgery. As a result, procedures such as transcatheter heart valve replacement (THVR) are gaining prominence. These devices are replacing the heart valves used in open heart surgery as the standard way of replacing heart valves. If given the choice, many patients would prefer the less invasive transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure to open heart surgery. Rapid growth in... read more} |

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved a remote feature for follow-up programming sessions for the Nucleus Cochlear Implant System through a telemedicine platform. The remote programming feature is indicated for patients who have had six months of experience with their cochlear implant sound processor and are comfortable with the programming process.
“Programming adjustments to a cochlear implant are performed at specialized cochlear implant centers or at clinics by audiologists with expertise in cochlear implants. Being able to have a qualified audiologist program the device via telemedicine from a remote location can greatly reduce the burden to patients and their families. read more} |

There has been a massive decline in growth rate of the gastric band market since 2008, as most surgeons switched to gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy procedures. Many surgeons felt that the fitting of a gastric band was not only more dangerous than a sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass procedure, but also not as profitable as the other options. Unlike a sleeve gastrectomy procedure, which does not require any follow up, the fitting of a gastric band requires the surgeon to check up on the patient up to 3 times a year over a 2-year period in order to monitor patient progress. Although this arrangement is beneficial for the patient, surgeons find that these follow-ups are not cost-effective. While the rate of individuals considered to be severely obese... read more} |
