Research and Markets: Global Coronary Stent Market Report - Heart Diseases or Heart Attacks, One of the Largest Killing Diseases Worldwide

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8e9d46/global_coronary_st) has
announced the addition of the "Global Coronary Stent Market Report" report to
their offering.

Heart diseases or heart attacks are nowadays becoming more and more common, and
in fact, are one of the largest killing diseases worldwide. Heart attack is
caused by narrowing of or any blockage in the coronary arteries, which supply
blood to heart muscles. Stents used in the coronary arteries to keep them open
are called coronary stents, and due to intensity and the rate of increase in the
disease are also gaining importance.

The coronary stents market has come a long way and its journey has been marked
by growth as well as decline phases. Since the advent of drug-eluting stents in
the early 2000, the coronary stent market witnessed a spurt in growth. The years
2006 and 2007 saw a significant decline in market revenues due to release of
some adverse clinical trial data that raised questions about the efficacy and
safety of drug-eluting stents. 2008 again showed some stability.

The Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and the use of
drug-eluting stents (DES) in those procedures, implying the DES penetration rate
are the main indicators of growth of the DES market or the coronary market at
large. Bare metal stents (BMS) and drug-eluting stents are the two types of
coronary stents. Before the advent of DES, BMS were the only type of stents
available and hence covered the entire market. Since entry of DES, the market
has shifted almost entirely towards DES.

The report analyzes the coronary stent market from two perspectives. One is from
the point of products, i.e., BMS and DES market size, growth rate and market
share. Second is the size of the main regional stents market, like, the US,
Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific. The main factors driving the growth of the
market are also discussed along with the new developments in the market. The
competitive landscape of the market is also analyzed.

By combining SPSS Inc.'s data integration and analysis capabilities with our
relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the industry. We
employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and
created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the future direction of
the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the relationship between
several independent or predictor variables and the dependent variable was
analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.
