Changing demographics are spurring dynamic growth in the interventional radiology market. The angioplasty balloon, coronary stent, vascular closure,
and other associated equipment markets will experience healthy growth over the next 5 years.
Persons over the age of 65 will be a major segment of
the population in coming years. Chronic diseases and unhealthy habits such as smoking, lack of exercise, and poor diet are resulting in an epidemic of
obesity and concomitant cardiac conditions. These factors and others will drive demand for interventional radiology and vascular products to address
various vascular conditions including peripheral vascular diseases such as peripheral artery and chronic venous insufficiency, endovascular
embolization, and peripheral recanalization.
This Kalorama Information study examines the markets for therapeutic interventional products used in
minimally invasive procedures. Each section of the report addresses the technologies and market size in 2003, and provides forecasts through 2007.
Major topics include: Angioplasty, atherectomy, thrombolysis, thrombolectomy, vascular puncture closure, vena cava filter placement, and emerging
techniques such as laser angioplasty, therapeutic angiogenesis, and gene therapy.
The industry profile of the Interventional Radiology Products
market discusses the major issues, challenges and trends that participating companies encounter; research and development (including clinical trials)
efforts undertaken; marketing, pricing and reimbursement policies in effect; and corporate strategies relating to product, technology and market
evolution.
Kalorama reports are generated through extensive primary research among suppliers, manufacturers, marketers, and distributors, as well as
secondary research among clinicians, researchers, and associations. Information is also validated by published data in the medical marketplace and
through company literature and government filings.
