The repair of vascular defects via endovascular grafts has been shown to favorably influence patient morbidity and mortality with respect to traditional surgical techniques, and has positioned these devices as the standard of care for aortic aneurysms and peripheral vascular defects. As the number of procedures has grown, endovascular graft suppliers have expanded their product lines to include a range of graft sizes, fenestrated and branch designs, graft extensions and improved delivery and anchoring/fixation systems. Driven by favorable market demographics and the growing emphasis in many developed economies on preventive and pre-emptive medicine, the business outlook for interventional cardiology in general, and endovascular procedures in particular, is extremely attractive. This report examines the key demand, economic and competitive factors that will determine the future direction of the endovascular repair segment.
