DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/1e0b23/emerging_medical_d) has announced the addition of the "Emerging Medical Devices Technology Trends - 2011" report to their offering.
GBI Research's report, "Emerging Medical Devices Technology Trends - 2011," provides information and analysis on the various emerging technologies in the medical devices industry. The report provides description of the technology, likely impact of the technology from market point of view, key players developing or already marketing the technology and details of pipeline products of few of the technologies.
Emerging Technologies Such as Drug-eluting Balloons and MRI Compatible Pacemakers to have Substantial Impact on the Cardiovascular Devices Market
Drug-eluting Balloons (DEB) are one of the most successful technologies to emerge in the cardiovascular market in recent years. DEBs have introduced a new dimension to the way coronary and peripheral artery diseases are treated, and the greater adoption of this technology is bound to have a substantial impact on the interventional cardiovascular devices market.
It is estimated that that about 1.1 million percutaneous stenting procedures are done across the globe and approximately 25% of these patients suffer from In Stent Restenosis (ISR). The use of DEBs in this population is expected to drive the growth of the DEB market in the coming years.
DEBs are anti-restenotic drug coated PTCA (Percuatneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty) balloons which are intended to prevent the renarrowing of the coronary artery after stent placement. They are designed for intraluminal drug application in coronary arteries and peripheral vessels to treat ISR, bifurcations, small vessels, and long lesions. The use of drug-coated balloons appears to hold promise as a viable alternative to stand-alone balloon angioplasty and stent implantation for the treatment of coronary and peripheral arterial disease.
