Peripheral Vascular Stenting to 2020
First introduced about two decades ago as a bailout technique for suboptimal or failed iliac angioplasty, peripheral vascular stenting gradually emerged as a valuable and versatile tool for a variety of primary and adjuvant applications within non-coronary vasculature.
First introduced about two decades ago as a bailout technique for suboptimal or failed iliac angioplasty, peripheral vascular stenting gradually emerged as a valuable and versatile tool for a variety of primary and adjuvant applications within non-coronary vasculature.
Today, peripheral vascular stenting techniques are commonly employed in the management of the most prevalent occlusive circulatory disorders and other pathologies affecting abdominal and thoracic aortic tree and lower extremity arterial bed. Stents are also increasingly used in the management of the debilitating conditions like venous outflow obstruction associated with deep venous thrombosis and chronic venous insufficiency.
Peripheral vascular systems include lower extremity bare metal and drug-eluting stents for treatment of symptomatic PAD and critical limb ischemia resulting from iliac, femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal occlusive disease; stent-grafting devices used in endovascular repair of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms; as well as a subset of indication-specific and multipurpose peripheral stents used in recanalization of iliofemoral and iliocaval occlusions resulting in CVI.
In 2015, these peripheral stenting systems were employed in ovet 1.5 million revascularization procedures worldwide, of which lower extremity arterial stenting accounted for 81% of such interventions, followed by abdominal aortic aneurysm and thoracic aortic aneurym endovascular repairs.
Clinicians in the U.S. performed 34.1% of worldwide covered peripheral arterial and venous procedures, 33.1%), major Asian-Pacific states (24.4%), and the rest-of-the-world with 8.4% of peripheral stent-based interventions.
During the forecast period, the global volume of peripheral arterial and venous stenting procedures is projected to grow an average of 5.5% and 6.2% per annum, generating over $4,620 million in cumulative product revenues in the year 2020.
The largest relative and absolute dollar gains in all covered product segments can be expected in Asian-Pacific market geography based on rapid transition to modern interventional radiology practices and availability of funding in China. Similar, but somewhat slower growth trends might be observes in the ROW zone, albeit from a much lower base.
Highly mature U.S. and Western European markets are likely to register relatively modest advances both in corresponding procedure volumes and device sales.
