Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2013 -- While heart transplantation remains the gold standard and preferred treatment option for patients with advanced Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), the number of transplant candidates far exceeds the donor pool. This significant limitation has prompted considerable, continued interest in the development of Cardiac Assist Devices (CAD) that are capable of supporting patients with severe CHF, either until donor hearts become available or as an alternative to heart transplantation for long-term use.

GlobalData has released its medical device report, Cardiac Assist Devices - Current and Pipeline Products. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of the global CAD market, including development of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABP), Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD), and Total Artificial Hearts (TAH). The report identifies and evaluates key trends and unmet needs shaping the global CAD market through 2019, highlighting testimonials from top physicians around the world who are already utilizing the devices. The report provides insight into the competitive CAD landscape, including new companies approaching commercialization and pipeline products in development, and examines the impact of this disruptive technology around the world.
