Expanding The EVAR Toolbox: A Glimpse Into The Future
The US endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) market is one of the most dynamic device segments in the interventional arena, with growth and innovation driven in large part by an accelerating effort to expand EVAR to a wider patient pool. This movement toward more challenging cases does have a downside in terms of potential complications and uncertain long-term durability as physicians push the envelope of existing technology. However, innovation in this field is continuing at a fairly steady pace, and several important new technologies that could improve the safety and durability of EVAR in more complex anatomy could be introduced in the near future. If these devices live up to their early promise, they are likely to ignite even stronger growth in a market already valued at over $1 billion annually worldwide.
The US endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) market is one of the most dynamic device segments in the interventional arena, with growth and innovation driven in large part by an accelerating effort among endovascular specialists to expand EVAR to a wider patient pool. Thanks to ongoing advances in this field, that pool could soon routinely include patients with difficult anatomies, such as short, angulated aneurysm necks and heavily diseased femoral arteries, who would not have been considered for nonsurgical repair only a few years ago.
Endovascular graft manufacturers have played a pivotal role in this effort by introducing a steady stream of new devices and...

Medtronic announced it received expanded MRI labeling for its DBS systems, which is critical, given that almost 70% of all DBS-eligible patients will likely need an MRI at some point in their care, says Ashwini Sharan, CMO for Medtronic Neuromodulation.
In this episode, Medtech Insight reporter Natasha Barrow speaks to LungLife AI CEO Paul
Pagano. Lung Life AI is a US-based AIM-listed medical technology company that has developed a liquid biopsy test for the early detection of lung cancer called Lung LB. Pagano runs through the highlights of Lung Life AI journey to date and its future ambition for a strategic partnership. He also provides advice to similar diagnostic companies seeking reimbursement andcompliance with the US FDA Lab Developed Test ruling.
In revising the foundations of EU product legislation, the European Commission aims to increase harmonization, cut regulatory burdens and promote digital tools to boost compliance and safety.
The medtech M&A landscape is experiencing a resurgence fueled by significant capital from private equity and venture firms, says Alex Wakefield, CRO of AcuityMD. Building strong relationships with physicians remains crucial in medtech, and defining an exit strategy early is imperative.
