Peripheral artery disease is an abnormality that restricts the blood flow of arteries to the arms, stomach, and commonly, legs. Deposition of fatty substances on the wall of the arteries thickens them and restricts blood flow. Symptoms of peripheral artery disease include numbness in the legs, pain, and others.
The incidence of peripheral artery disease has been growing rapidly worldwide. Patients often prefer revascularization as it is a better treatment approach. Surgical revascularizations and surgical grafting have been carried out for a long time. The trend of revascularizations has increased for patients who are unfit for surgery. The use of drug eluting balloons for revascularization therapy for the treatment of peripheral artery diseases represents an emerging trend around the globe.
A drug eluting balloon is a semi-compliant angioplasty balloon that is surrounded by an anti-proliferative medicine. The medicine is ejected to the vessel wall during the inflation of the balloon. The active substance of the balloon is highly lipophilic (dissolved in lipids or fats). The drug eluting balloon homogeneously delivers the drug to the vessel and provides treatment for peripheral artery disease.
The global Drug Eluting Balloon For Peripheral Artery Disease Market is primarily driven by a rise in the cases of peripheral artery disease in the world, diagnosis and treatment rate of peripheral artery diseases, and development of health care infrastructure. However, low availability of drug eluting balloons, high price of treatment, stringent regulatory landscape, and intellectual property rights laws are likely to hamper the growth of the global drug eluting balloon for peripheral artery diseases market in the near future. Technological advancements, increase in R&D investment, and major acquisitions among key players are estimated to provide attractive opportunities to the global drug eluting balloon for peripheral artery disease market during the forecast period.
