Minimally invasive surgeries are gaining popularity owing to reduced risk and trauma associated with these procedures. Strokes, or hemorrhage, are the result of damaged, blocked or injured blood vessels, which can cause bleeding or circulation problems in the brain. Open or minimally invasive surgical techniques are used for the treatment of blocked blood vessels of the brain. To remove the blockage from the brain, minimally invasive endovascular surgery techniques are preferred. Neurovascular catheters coupled with other advanced devices are preferred as minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of aneurysm, stroke, and other blood vessel conditions in the brain. This minimally invasive technique offers quicker recovery and less stress on the body as compared to open surgery.

Moreover, minimally invasive neurovascular surgeries involve fewer interruptions of muscles and tendons, making the procedure more natural and easier. Certain benefits offered by these catheters, such as easy access to intracranial space, minimal invasion, and simplification of complex procedures owing to advanced designs & features of catheters, make wound closure easier as well as enable faster healing as compared to traditional, open surgery. Increasing concern for more esthetic and natural appearance in all age groups and less amount of blood loss during minimally invasive surgeries are among the major market growth drivers.

They are capable of delivering diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic materials into the vascular. Thus, due to such factors segment is expected to grow in the near future.

Application Insights

The brain aneurysms segment held the largest market share of around 32.79% in 2022. Brain aneurysms, also called intracranial aneurysms, are leaks or ruptured blood vessels, causing bleeding in the brain. Factors contributing to the formation of intracranial aneurysms are hypertension, smoking, injury or trauma to blood vessels, a complication from a few types of blood infections, and genetic predisposition. Thus, a global increase in the prevalence of brain aneurysms is anticipated to boost the market in the forecast period.

The treatment of an aneurysm includes surgical clipping, medical therapy, endovascular therapy, or coiling without or with adjunctive devices. Some of the FDA-approved microcatheters available for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms are the JET Family of Reperfusion Catheters System (Penumbra) and CODMAN ENTERPRISE 2 (Johnson & Johnson). These devices can recover or destroy blood clots in aneurysms, thus, boosting the market growth.

The others segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Other application segment consists of Moyamoya disease, carotid artery stenosis, and cerebral atherosclerosis. Moyamoya disease is a rare, cerebral disorder caused by obstructed arteries at the base of the brain. The condition may cause a recurrent transient ischemic attack, stroke, or bleeding in the brain. According to NORD, Moyamoya disease incidence is higher in Asian countries, such as Japan, Korea, and China, than Europe or North America.

Carotid artery stenosis, also called carotid artery disease, is a blockage or narrowing of carotid arteries. This usually results in the build-up of fatty deposits called plaque within the arteries, which is called atherosclerosis. It can get worse over a period to completely block the artery, which may lead to stroke. Common risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, age, diabetes, obesity, and an unhealthy lifestyle. Cerebral or intracranial arteriosclerosis is caused by hardening and thickening of arterial walls in the brain. It can lead to transient ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes, or even long-term motor impairments. Thus, the increasing prevalence of the abovementioned neurovascular disorders is anticipated to drive the market.

End-use Insights

The hospital segment held the largest market share of around 55.53% in 2022. The growth of this segment can be attributed primarily to the increasing patient pool suffering from neurovascular disorders, such as ischemic & hemorrhagic stroke, brain aneurysm, Traumatic brain injury (TBI), and Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). For instance, according to World Stroke Organization, throughout their lifetime, 1 in 4 persons over the age of 25 years is expected to experience a stroke. Every year, 13.7 million people are expected to experience their first stroke, and 5.5 million of them may die. Without suitable action, it appears that the annual death toll will increase to 6.7 million.
