Publisher's Synopsis
The aortic intervention market has consolidated. During 2015, Medtronic acquired Aptus Endosystems for $110 million, Lombard Medical acquired Altura Medical for $23 million and Endologix merged with TriVascular in a $211 million deal. The only innovative company left standing independent in the space is Cardiatis, which is expected to be acquired during 2016 given its disruptive aortic flow diversion technology, its extensive patent portfolio, and the recent Veith symposium presentations highlighting the utility of its technology in repairing difficult to treat thoraco-abdominal aneurysms . According to Medtech Ventures' analysts, the global aortic endografts market was estimated at $1.8 billion in 2015, a growth of 6% over its level in 2014. At $1.4 billion in revenue, the infra-renal segment of the market has matured but is expected to continue growing in the low-single digit range during the rest of the decade. Aortic branch management strategies represent the next frontier in endovascular aortic aneurysm repair with the promise to expand applicability into the thoracoabdominal space and the aortic arch, an estimated $900 million in new market potential. Fenestrated and branched endografts are being used in many centers and have increased the proportion of aortic aneurysms treated endovascularly. During the rest of the decade these devices will become perfected, simpler to use and stockable in off-the-shelf configurations. The acceptance of the off-the-shelf aortic flow diversion technology that can bridge and preserve circulation in the celiac, superior mesenteric and the renals, is a game changer and promises to breathe new growth into the overall market.
