Abstract
Japan is the second-largest market for peripheral vascular devices in the
world due to its aging population and universal healthcare coverage.
Currently, the largest segment in the Japanese market for peripheral vascular
devices is the market for surgical grafts, followed by PTA balloon catheters,
diagnostic catheters and guidewires, as depicted in Chart 1-2. From 2007 to
2014, the Japanese market for peripheral vascular devices is expected to
increase at a CAGR of 14%, as depicted in Chart 1-1. This growth will be
fuelled by sales of PTA balloons, stents, stent-grafts and atherectomy
devices, which are expected to become the standard of care in Japan for the
treatment of lower limb lesions.
