(PharmaNewsWire.Com, April 02, 2020 ) Global prevalence of peripheral artery diseases, increasing geriatric population, and rising prevalence of diabetes. On the other hand, the availability of alternative treatments and product failures and recalls are the major factors that are expected to restrain the growth of this market.
Catheters market is segmented into angiography catheters, guiding catheters, and IVUS/OCT catheters. In 2018, the angiography catheters segment accounted for the largest share of the catheters market. This is mainly due to the high and increasing prevalence of peripheral vascular diseases, coupled with the increasing awareness about the benefits of the early diagnosis of PVDs.
