Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Devices Market Competitive Landscape Analysis with Forecast by 2019

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a medical imaging methodology using a specially designed catheter with miniaturized ultrasound probe attached to the distal end. The proximal end of the catheter is attached to computerized ultrasound equipment. It allows application of ultrasonic technology to visualize the blood vessels internally through surrounding blood column. The arteries of the heart (the coronary arteries) are the most frequent imaging target for IVUS. The application of IVUS in coronary arteries is to determine the amount of atheromatous plaque built up at any particular point in epicardial coronary artery. Built up plaque obstructs the blood flow, disturbs the normal blood pressure in body and raises coronary heart complications (e.g. Stenosis). IVUS is a valuable adjunct to angiography, providing new insights in the diagnosis and therapy for coronary diseases. An angiography depicts only 2D silhouette of the lumen, whereas IVUS allows tomographic assessment of lumen area, plaque size, distribution, and composition. According to experts the range of lumen stenosis locations at which myocardial infarctions occur range from areas of acute dilatation all the way to areas of greater than 95% stenosis. However, the average or typical stenoses at which myocardial infarctions occur were found to be less than 50%. Only 14% of the heart attacks occurred at locations with 75% or more due to stenosis. Overall this research has changed the primary focus of heart attack from severe narrowing to vulnerable plaque. According to WHO, it has been estimated that around 17.3 million people died from CVDs in 2008, representing 30% of all the global deaths. Of these deaths, an estimated 7.3 million were due to coronary heart disease and 6.2 million were due to stroke.
