Report Description
With the increasing rate of cardiovascular disease constant innovation and advancement
in technology has become paramount. In the field of coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) introduction of endoscopic vessel harvesting system market has open up newer
opportunities for companies. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a procedure
for restoring the blood supply to the heart muscle due to blockage or narrowing of one or
more coronary arteries. Traditionally, the technique involved in harvesting procedure was
open vein harvesting (OVH) which involved a single continuous skin incision. With the
recent advancement in technology, the process is less invasive by endoscopic vessel
harvesting (EVH) this technique reduces leg wound morbidity because of small incisions
compared to open vein harvesting. Endoscope is a medical instrument used for
capturing a picture inside a hollow area, which is connected to a video camera and
inserted through a small incision that is made in the leg. The saphenous vein inside the
leg is viewed by the endoscope and helps the surgeon in identifying and to remove the
vein with minimal pain to the leg.
According to Center of Disease Control and Prevention, around 3,95,000 CABG surgeries
were performed in the United States in 2013. The endoscopic vessel harvesting system
market is mainly driven by the incidence and prevalence rate of coronary diseases.
Moreover due to benefits such as less invasive modality, including a lower infection rate,
fewer wound complications, improved cosmesis, and greater patient satisfaction
physicians and patients are opting for this treatment. High pool of geriatric population
and awareness programs among surgeons will drive the endoscopic vessel harvesting
system market.
