Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/05/2014 -- Increasing demand for minimally-invasive procedures has been witnessed among members of the rapidly aging population across the world, and this is expected to boost the growth of the Global Drug-eluting Stent market. In addition, the cost efficiencies offered by less invasive methods are likely to increase the demand for the procedures in the near future. Minimally-invasive endovascular procedures are surgeries performed through minute incisions in the body. Such procedures can be used to treat plaque blockages in the arteries of the heart and other vessel walls of peripheral organs such as the kidneys and the brain. The principal advantages of these procedures over conventional surgeries are the short recovery time, the short length of the scars resulting in less physical trauma, low risk of infection, and minimized bleeding, and the shorter hospital stays associated with these surgeries.

Analysts forecast the Global Drug-eluting Stent (DES) market to grow at a CAGR of 5.79 percent over the period 2013-2018. According to the report, one of the key drivers is the increase in the number of patients suffering from CVD. An unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are the major factors leading to the increase in the number of people prone to CVD.
