EVAR Market: Challenges, Innovation and Growth

Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair procedures account for the majority of abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs performed in the US, and total worldwide revenues from aortic endograft systems now exceed $1 billion per year. Many believe that continuing improvements in endograft technology will drive EVAR penetration to 90% or beyond within the next five to 10 years. However, before that milestone is reached, the field must address a number of lingering concerns about long-term endograft stability and viability, and endograft systems will need to evolve to encompass a wider range of patients with challenging anatomy, including small or tortuous access vessels, short or highly angulated aortic necks, and aneurysms that lie close to the renal arteries.
