Thrombectomy devices are used to remove blood clots from a main cerebral artery to restore blood flow after acute ischaemic stroke. The devices restore blood flow in people who are not able to have pharmacological treatment. Use of thrombectomy devices can improve long-term neurological outcomes by providing higher rates of procedural recanalization. The device used in medical purpose has a wide range of endovascular tools cleared for removing thrombi from the neurovasculature in acute ischemic stroke patients. In U.S. 3 classes of mechanical thrombectomy devices namely coil retrievers in 2004, aspiration devices in 2008, and stent retrievers in 2012 have been cleared by the food and drug administration. Furthermore, according to centers for disease control and prevention, Stroke kills about 140,000 Americans each year—that’s 1 out of every 20 deaths. About 87% of all strokes are ischemic strokes, in which blood flow to the brain is blocked. Likewise, in 2015, stroke deaths accounted for 11.8% of total deaths worldwide, making stroke the second leading global cause of death behind heart disease. Owing to the growth in the number of deaths, the market for thrombectomy devices is expected to propel in near future.
The thrombectomy devices market is segmented by device type, application, end user and geography
The various device types of the thrombectomy devices market are covered in the report such as aspiration thrombectomy devices, mechanical thrombectomy devices, rheolytic thrombectomy devices and ultrasonic thrombectomy devices. Among these, the mechanical thrombectomy devices segment dominated the thrombectomy devices market in 2018, owing to increasing commercialization of this devices in the market.
