Global Platelet Aggregation Devices Market 2017-2021

Global platelet aggregation devices market forecast

According to platelet aggregation devices market analysis, the global platelet aggregation devices market will grow rapidly at a CAGR of more than 17% during the forecast period. The growing number of surgical procedures will be one of the key factors driving the market’s growth during the estimated period. Cardiovascular patients with impaired platelet function and are undergoing dual antiplatelet therapy are highly vulnerable to the risk of intra- and post-operative bleeding and transfusions. This drives the need to maintain a delicate balance between bleeding and clotting by monitoring the platelet function using platelet aggregation devices. Individuals who are undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention procedures should test for platelet function as recommended by clinical guidelines. These patients are treated with antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel.
