The Global Atherectomy and Thrombectomy Devices market to grow at a CAGR of 9.36 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm and peripheral artery disease. The Global Atherectomy and Thrombectomy Devices market has also been witnessing the increase in demand for minimally invasive procedures. However, the lack of awareness about peripheral vascular disease among patients could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. There is an increasing demand for minimally invasive surgery among the rapidly increasing aging population in the world, and this is expected to propel the growth of the Global Atherectomy and Thrombectomy Devices market. Minimally invasive endovascular procedures are performed through minute incisions in the body. Such procedures can be used to treat plaque blockages in the arteries of the heart and other vessel walls of peripheral organs such as kidneys and brain. The principal advantages of these procedures, over conventional surgical methods, are the short recovery time, less physical trauma, minimal scarring, low risk of infection, minimal bleeding, low cost, and shorter hospital stays. Therefore, the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgery is expected to increase the demand for atherectomy and thrombectomy devices during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges faced by vendors in the market is the lack of awareness about PVDs among patients. This is primarily due to the asymptomatic nature of vascular diseases, wherein patients do not realize and are unaware of the immediate symptoms.
