Research and Markets: U.S. Market for Interventional Cardiology Devices 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/1270a7/u_s_market_for_in) has announced the addition of the "U.S. Market for Interventional Cardiology Devices 2011" report to their offering.

“U.S. Market for Interventional Cardiology Devices 2011”

In 2010, the U.S. market for interventional cardiology devices was valued at over $3.9 billion, a moderate increase from 2009.

The interventional cardiology market includes:

• drug-eluting stents,
• bare-metal stents,
• percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and
• cutting balloons catheters,
• balloon-inflation devices,
• angioplasty accessory kits,
• interventional catheters and guidewires,
• diagnostic catheters and guidewires,
• coronary introducer sheaths,
• embolic protection devices,
• atherectomy devices,
• thrombectomy devices,
• chronic total occlusion (CTO) devices,
• vascular closure devices (VCDs) and
• intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters.

In addition, this report covers the potential markets for optical coherence tomography (OCT) and vulnerable plaque screening.

In 2010, the U.S. market for drug-eluting stents stabilized after initial concerns over the likelihood of thrombosis occurring when drug-eluting stents were used. However, patient demographics are driving this market, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure numbers are expected to grow modestly over the forecast period, as the average age of the U.S. population and the number of patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease increases. The introduction of new stent technologies is also expected to have a significant impact on this market by 2017.

Within the U.S. interventional cardiology market, companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific, Medtronic/Invatec, Cordis and St. Jude Medical among many others. This report provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of market revenues by device type, market forecasts through 2017, unit sales, average selling prices, market drivers and limiters and a detailed competitive analysis, including manufacturer market shares and product portfolios.

The executive summary of this report is also available.
