ANGIOPLASTY BALLOONS MARKET ANALYSIS

Angioplasty balloon is a medical device that is used for surgical widening or unblocking of a blood vessel, especially a coronary artery. A noticeable increase in health conditions have been is observed due to some factors that cause heart related diseases such as obesity, poor diet, and extra cholesterol. Coronary artery disease is a life threatening disease which occurs due to insufficient supply of blood to the heart, leading to cardiac arrest. Thus, a person experiencing such medical condition should be treated with angioplasty procedure, which cleans the narrow and blocked blood veins. Angioplasty includes insertion of a small balloon tipped catheter into the blood vessel, which is then inflated at the site of blockage to help open the narrowed arteries.

Increase in the number of cardio vascular disease to boost the angioplasty balloon market

According to the health protection agency survey 2016, around 610,000 people die every year in the U.S. due to heart defects and this number is still on an upsurge. According to World Health Organizations (WHO) 2011, around 8 million individuals suffering from peripheral artery disease were recorded in the U.S. Coronary heart disease is a major cause of all the deaths in the country, which accounted for around 45% of total deaths. The prevalence of these diseases are expected to increase over the forecast period. Moreover, the growing ageing population experiencing heart ailments and diabetes, is expected to create higher demand angioplasty balloon catheters over the forecast period.
