Upgradation in process
IN THE NEWS· On April 23, 2o19, Boston Scientific Corporation announced that it received the FDA approval for its LOTUS Edge™ Aortic Valve System. It is a form of trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) technology that is delivered through a minimally invasive technique.
· On September 27, 2019, Abbott announced the approval of its two pediatric devices for congenital heart defects in Europe. The devices named Masters HP™ 15mm rotatable mechanical heart valve and Amplatzer Piccolo™ Occluder have received the CE Mark and are available in the regions recognizing this mark. The Masters valve is the world’s smallest mechanical heart valve which allows the replacement of mitral or aortic valve in infants. On the other hand, the Amplatzer Piccolo is used to treat patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and can be used for babies weighing under one kilogram.
Structural Heart Devices Market Overview
Structural heart diseases are the heart defects caused as a result of problems with the heart valves or the cardiac tissues. Several structural heart diseases are present at birth and known as congenital heart diseases. Others might develop at later stages of life. The various structural heart disease range from cardiomyopathy, which affects the heart muscles, to mitral valve regurgitation where the blood leaks in the backward direction from the mitral valve. In order to treat these disorders, structural heart devices are required which either repair the problem or replace the defective part or tissue of the heart. The market for structural heart devices is projected to witness a significantly high growth in the upcoming years on account of these diseases.
Market Size and Forecast
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated through a study in Atlanta that around one in every 770 babies born in the Unites States every year were born with an atrial septal defect.
The structural heart devices market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 9.5% over the forecast period, i.e., 2019-2027. The market is segmented by product, by procedure, by indication and by region. The product segment is further divided into heart valves, occluders, annuloplasty rings, accessories and others, out of which, the heart valves segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the structural heart devices market on account of rising number of procedures for trans-catheter aortic valve replacement. The heart valves consist of two types of valves, mainly surgical heart valves and trans-catheter heart valves. Along with the flourishing demand for heart valve devices, the growing approvals of these devices by the regulatory authorities is another factor estimated to result in the growth of this segment during this period.

On the basis of procedure, the market is bifurcated into repair and replacement, out of which, the replacement procedure segment is predicted to observe the highest growth on account of increasing demand for trans-catheter replacement procedures.
Growth Drivers
Rising Structural Heart Diseases to Raise the Demand for These Devices
According to the CDC, congenital heart diseases affect around 1% births per year in the United States, which is approximately 40,000 births. The growing incidences of structural heart diseases among people, including congenital heart defects, are estimated to increase the demand for advanced treatment methods. This is anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Rapid Developments in Structural Heart Devices to Boost the Market Growth
The development of new and innovative devices for the treatment of structural heart diseases such as annuloplasty rings and occluders is another factor anticipated to contribute towards the market growth. Rising healthcare expenditure in various countries across the world leads to a higher demand for improved products which are highly effective and last a longer time.
Restraints
High Cost of Treatment to Hamper the Market Growth
The treatment for structural heart diseases requires surgery which can be a highly costly procedure. Moreover, the devices with new and improved technology are expensive as well. This is predicted to lead to lower adoption of such devices in future. The rising cost of medical devices plays a major role in restricting the growth of the structural heart devices market. Furthermore, the strict government policies regarding the safety and approval of these devices is estimated to limit the growth of structural heart devices market over the forecast period.
