Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Europe, accounting for more than 4.35 million deaths annually.  The morbidity and mortality rates associated with CVD are fueling the demand for less-invasive technologies and products to diagnose and treat advanced cases that cannot be adequately managed via medical therapy. 

Sales of minimally invasive cardiac surgery devices in Europe reached approximately $81.8 million in 2005.  Growing at a brisk compound annual rate of 14.0%, sales of these products are projected to climb to $179.3 million in the region in the year 2011.  Intracoronary diagnostic devices that are deployed utilizing transcatheter techniques generated approximately $362.7 million in sales in Europe in 2005, where they are expected to generate an estimated $434.9 million in sales in the year 2011.

This dynamic report from Medtech Insight includes analyses of products, technologies, current and forecast markets, competitors, and opportunities in European country markets for minimally invasive cardiac surgery and intracoronary diagnostic devices. 

Covered topics in this report include annuloplasty devices; automated anastomosis devices; coronary angiography devices; coronary artery bypass grafting and minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedures; electrophysiology devices; intravascular ultrasound catheters; overviews of selected European national healthcare markets; population and healthcare-related statistics; procedure volumes forecasts; and saphenous vein harvesting devices, stabilizers, retractors, and other devices utilized in minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedures.
