Ongoing advancements in medical technology led to the development of more sophisticated and effective intracranial stents. These innovations include improved stent designs, biocompatible materials, and better delivery systems, resulting in enhanced safety and efficacy of the stenting procedure. For instance, Wallaby/phenox introduced the pEGASUS HPC stent, featuring an innovative anti-thrombogenic HPC coating technology. The stent is specifically designed for patients with intracranial aneurysms and stenoses in intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD).
The launch of this new stent marks a significant advancement in the field of neurovascular interventions and offers promising treatment options for individuals with neurological conditions. As the technology continues to evolve, it attracts greater interest from medical professionals and further fuels the demand for intracranial stenosis stents. Furthermore, the global population is aging, with a higher proportion of elderly individuals. As people age, they become more susceptible to vascular diseases and intracranial stenosis. The elderly population base often seeks medical intervention to improve their quality of life and prevent serious health issues including strokes.
For instance, according to the World Stroke Organization's 2022 report, there are over 12.2 million new stroke cases reported annually worldwide. The highest prevalence of stroke occurs in individuals aged 70 years and above, accounting for 67% of cases followed by those aged between 15 and 49 years representing 22% of cases. Consequently, the growing geriatric demographic contributes to the rising demand for intracranial stenosis stents as a means of effective treatment.
