Global Atherectomy Devices Market 2016-2020

Global atherectomy devices market forecast

Atherectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the plaque that blocks vein grafts or coronary arteries. The recent rise in the incidence of peripheral artery disease across the globe, especially among the aging population, has boosted the demand for atherectomy procedures during the forecast period. Since many medical facilities are using atherectomy procedures to treat the peripheral artery disease, it will increase the demand and sales of atherectomy devices in the next few years. According to the atherectomy devices market analysis, Technavio’s market research analyst predicts that the global atherectomy devices market will grow at a CAGR of more than 5% by 2020.

Owing to technological advancements and product innovations, vendors have been compelled to replace traditional atherectomy devices with new technologies like laser-based atherectomy devices. These advanced devices are more efficient and have minimal complications.  Vendors have also come up with devices that offer advanced features such as improved physician controls, ergonomics, and manufacturability. For instance, Avinger’s advanced version of Pantheris lumivascular atherectomy system is the first image-guided atherectomy device. The increase in demand for such innovative devices among physicians will augment this market’s growth potential during the forecast period.

Atherectomy devices market segmentation by technology

• Directional atherectomy
• Rotational atherectomy
• Orbital atherectomy
