Coronary Stents Market Trends
The market is experiencing several trends that are shaping its growth and development. Factors such as the rising popularity of drug-eluting stents (DES), the growth of bioabsorbable and biodegradable stents, and the expansion of the revascularization patient pool, among others, are boosting industry growth.
- Bioabsorbable stents, which dissolve naturally over time, are gaining traction as they minimize long-term risks of stent thrombosis and reduce the need for prolonged antiplatelet therapy. Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) offer a temporary support structure, dissolving after the artery heals, which is appealing in cases where long-term metal stents are not ideal.
- Moreover, as stent technology advances and clinical success rates improve, more patients, including those with complex artery lesions or co-morbidities, are becoming eligible for stent procedures. These advancements have expanded the market by making minimally invasive procedures possible for high-risk patients. Therefore, the aforementioned factors are expected to drive market growth.
