Angiographic or diagnostic catheter are intended for use in angiographic procedures. It delivers radiopaque media and therapeutic agents to selected sites in the vascular system. It is also used to lead a guidewire or a catheter into the target site. Coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation using a catheter. The angiographic catheter is a plastic tube which functions as a conduit for contrast, fluids, and pressure measurement during cardiac catheterization of coronary arteries and the left ventricle. Catheter angiography is used to examine blood vessels in key areas of the body, including the brain, neck, heart, chest, abdomen (such as the kidneys and liver), pelvis, legs, feet, arms and hands.
Increasing incidence of cardiac vascular diseases (CVDs) and rise in demand of accurate diagnosis and procedural equipment’s in healthcare sector are boosting angiographic catheters market globally. Moreover, increase in ageing population and lifestyle changes leading to hypertension, obesity, and other risk factors that lead to vascular disorders are significantly contributing towards the growth of the market. To provide better treatment, governments offer reimbursement plan, which can cover the treatment cost. This will lead most of the people to opt for early treatment plan such as angiography. This, in turn, will drive the global angiography catheters market during the forecast period. However, high cost of angiographic procedures and other components is hampering the market growth.
The report analyses the global angiographic catheters market based on product, application, end user and geography.
The angiographic catheters market is categorized into various products such as conventional catheter, cutting balloon catheter, drug-eluting balloon (DEB) catheter and scoring balloon catheter. The Arrow Berman angiographic catheters from Teleflex are designed to help reduce patient complications during pulmonary angiography procedures and balloon occlusion femoral angiography (BOFA). Berman catheters provide a high flow of dye injection through side holes to optimize dye distribution and minimize the risk of arrhythmias, and myocardial staining by directing dye away from the myocardial wall.
Various applications of the angiographic catheters market comprise coronary, endovascular, neurology, oncology and other applications such as lungs, urology, and gastroenterology. Cardiac catheterization allows the cardiologist to get direct information about the blood pressures and patterns of blood flow within the heart. The catheterization involves placing small IV tubes in the vein and artery of a leg, arm or the neck. Through the special IV tubes the cardiologist can pass thinner tubes (called catheters) into the circulation.
The end user of this market are hospitals, ambulatory surgical centres, specialty clinics and others. Overall, patients prefer less invasive outpatient procedures that can be performed in doctor’s office, instead of hospital procedures that would potentially require general anaesthesia. Minimally invasive treatments for Angiography are capitalizing on this trend and represent the fastest-growing market worldwide. Physicians perform angiography by using angiography catheters and imaging devices such as PET angiography, coronary CT angiography, and X-ray scan (non-invasive methods).
By geography, the global angiographic catheters market is studied across the countries of key regions such as, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and rest of the world regions which includes Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. In 2018, Europe dominated the market owing to factors such as technological innovations, increasing healthcare spending, and swelling government initiatives to create awareness regarding cardiac health. Moreover, Asia-Pacific angiographic catheters market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR due to rising government initiatives for the modernization of healthcare infrastructure, large population base and growing incidence of cardiac diseases.
