Heart Valve Devices Market Overview
Heart Valve Devices Market size is estimated to reach $16.7 billion by
2027, growing at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Heart
valve devices are utilized for the treatment of an obstruction in the heart
valves, and implantation of these devices is one of the typical procedures. Mechanical heart valves and biological heart valves are two distinct
kinds of prosthetic heart valve replacements which imitate the operations of a
human valve. Certain reports recommend that the mechanical valves accessible
presently are able to last indefinitely. However, mechanical valves presently need the ongoing application of
blood thinners, or anticoagulants, to avert clotting on the valvular device.
Without the application of anticoagulants, a blood clot can build on the valve
which could eventually bring about a stroke. The biological valves prepared from animal
tissue are termed xenografts while heart valves are taken from a human who has
donated his/her heart and is termed an allograft or, more typically, a
homograft. At certain times, a patient's own heart valve can be utilized at the
time of a heart valve replacement operation. Transcatheter heart valves or transcatheter
valves are synthetic valves prepared from biological tissues encircled by
steel, cobalt-chromium, or nitinol stent. These valves can be either
balloon-expandable or self-expandable. Aortic valves are valves in the hearts
of humans and nearly all other animals, situated between the left ventricles
and the aortas. valve has two
leaflets. They allow blood to flow from the lungs into the left atrium. And
they prevent backward flow from the left ventricle to the left atrium. The
mitral valve (MV) is an atrioventricular (AV) valve and links the left atrium
(LA) to the left ventricle (LV). The tricuspid and mitral valves maintain a tab on the blood flow from
the atria into the ventricles. The aortic and pulmonary valves, on the other
hand, regulate the blood flow out of the ventricles.
The heightening launch of novel products for application in minimally invasive procedures together with the application of transcatheter valves is set to drive the Heart Valve Devices Market. The increasing predominance of cardiovascular diseases and surging regulatory authorizations for novel and progressive prosthetic heart valves are set to propel the growth of the Heart Valve Devices Market during the forecast period 2022-2027. This represents the Heart Valve Devices Industry Outlook.

increasing application of transcatheter valves, and the unfulfilled patient
requirement.
Heart Valve Devices Market Segment Analysis – By Geography:
The Heart Valve Devices Market
based on geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, South America, and Rest of the World. North America (Heart Valve Devices
Market) held the largest share with 35% of the overall market in 2021. The
growth of this region is owing to the soaring
acceptance of technologically superior products and methods in the North
American region. Transcatheter
valves provide a reasonable substitute for conventional surgical aortic valve
replacement in some pediatric patients who are suboptimal surgical candidates.
The relatively greater average selling prices of heart valve devices in the
region are further propelling the growth of the Heart Valve Devices Market in
the North American region.
Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to be the region with the fastest CAGR rate over the forecast period 2022-2027.

Heart Valve Devices Market Drivers
Surging Applications Of Mechanical Valves Are Projected To Drive The Growth Of Heart Valve Devices Market:
As per statistics maintained on MedicineNet the 5-year survival rates for aortic valve replacement (AVR), surgery is 94%. This means 94 out of 100 people who endured AVR surgery could live at least 5 years. Mechanical heart valves were established over 50 years ago and are constituted completely of synthetic materials to form mechanical devices that replicate the operation of natural heart valves. They are planned to be durable and are therefore typically utilized to treat patients younger than 70 years of age. A medical device that is implanted into the heart of a patient with valve disease, like aortic stenosis or mitral regurgitation, is termed an artificial heart valve. A heart includes four valves -- an aortic valve, a mitral valve, a pulmonary valve, and a tricuspid valve. Mechanical heart valves are prepared from very durable materials inclusive of titanium, carbon compounds, and Teflon. Mechanical heart valves have conventionally been depicted as the gold standard for valvular replacement therapies (Schoen, 2005). The surging applications of mechanical valves are therefore fuelling the growth of the Heart Valve Devices Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.
Soaring Innovations In Heart Valve Surgery Are Expected To Boost The Growth Of The Heart Valve Devices Market:
The most significant current innovation in heart valve surgery has been the establishment of transcatheter techniques for the repair or replacement of heart valves. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive heart procedure to substitute a thickened aortic valve that cannot completely open (aortic valve stenosis). As per the John Muir Health website, so far, greater than 45,000 patients have been implanted with Edwards’ transcatheter valves by multi-disciplinary heart teams worldwide. As has been the case with percutaneous transcatheter treatment of coronary artery disease, catheter delivery of valve prostheses for valve replacement is presently a reality. Additionally, percutaneous catheter methods have been established to decrease mitral valve inadequacy. To treat aortic valve stenosis, two transcatheter devices have been implanted successfully in hundreds of patients with superior outcomes in terms of security and efficacy. Both are bioprostheses mounted on a balloon catheter. In the more typical approach, the catheter is threaded into place in the aortic root retrograde by way of the aorta through a trans-femoral or iliac artery insertion site. Alternately, the catheter with the collapsed valve prosthesis is inserted by way of the left ventricular apex into the aortic root. The balloon is then inflated, compressing the native aortic valve, succeeded by deployment and extension of the valve prosthesis comfortably into place in the aortic annulus. The soaring innovations in heart valve surgery are therefore driving the growth of the Heart Valve Devices Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.
Heart Valve Devices Market Challenges
Limitations Of Mechanical Valves Are Hampering The Growth Of The Heart Valve Devices Market:
Nearly 2/3 of both aortic and mitral valve implants were recorded
as mechanical. Recorded application of anticoagulative agents was considerably
more typical in recipients of mechanical than of bioprosthetic valves. While
mechanical heart valves offer superior durability, one of their principal
limitations is the determined hazard of thrombosis which can result in valvular
dysfunction. The most typical cause of valvular dysfunction results from the impediment
of the valve discs by thrombus, and to a lesser extent, the formation of pannus.
Pannus formation is characterized by fibrous tissue ingrowth and the existence of
endothelial and immune cells. Additionally, turbulence, while much enhanced in
comparison with former design iterations, still has the capability to promote
thrombogenicity around the implanted heart valve. Thrombosis can also result
from a compliance mismatch between the native tissue and implanted materials,
where differences in mechanical compliance can lead to disturbed flow patterns,
as has been noticed in vascular grafts. To avert thrombus formation, patients
are needed to remain on lifelong anticoagulation therapy, which has its own hazards
of excessive bleeding and dearth of blood clotting when required.
Anticoagulants offer complexities for younger women owing to their being
related to birth defects and additional pregnancy-related complications. These
issues are thus hampering the growth of the Heart Valve Devices Market.
