Abstract

An estimated 35,000 thoracic aortic surgical and endovascular interventions are performed every year in the developed world (10,000 in the US alone) at a combined cost to individuals, insurance companies and tax payers of $3.5 billion a year.

40% of these operations are performed on the descending thoracic aorta. Even in the best hands, surgical repair in this anatomical region is difficult and has been associated with devastating complications, especially in those who are not fit for thoracotomy. The endovascular approach can potentially replace these operations.

By the end of 2006 the global market for thoracic aortic stent grafts and access devices was estimated at US$70 million. The fan fair surrounding the approval of the Gore Tag thoracic stent graft system in the US has kicked off the market to a good start.

Based on current technology situation, published company and investment analysts forecasts and feedback from industry executives and thought leaders we forecast the market to reach US$250 million, globally, by 2012.
