Ventricular Assist Devices Market Research, 2031
The global ventricular assist devices market size was valued at $1,338.53 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $2,880.66 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2022 to 2031. Ventricular assist devices (VADs) also known as mechanical circulatory support are implanted in the heart to assist the heart's pumping action. Ventricular assist devices are highly efficient medical devices used in treatment of patients with severe heart failure. These devices are implanted in patients who are waiting for a heart transplant or for those who are not eligible for a heart transplant.
Ventricular assist devices offers advantages such as helping improve the patient's quality of life, reduce symptoms of heart failure and prevent frequent hospitalization. There are several types of VADs including continuous-flow VADs and pulsatile-flow VADs, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. VADs are typically placed near the patient's heart and are connected to the heart through tubes or grafts which is powered by batteries which are externally worn or by a cable that is plugged into a power supply. Left ventricular assisted devices (LVADs) are the commonly used VADs that are implanted in the heart to assist the heart's pumping action in case of left ventricular failure.
“The ventricular assist devices market was negatively impacted during the lockdown period owning decrease in patient visit to the hospitals for diagnosis of diseases other than COVID-19 and decreased government funding for cardiovascular disease treatment.”
