Introspective Market Research (IMR) today released its Atherectomy Devices Market Report, projecting a strong trajectory for the global atherectomy device sector over the next decade. IMR’s in-depth analysis forecasts that the market — currently estimated to be USD 1.02 billion in 2024 (per IMARC data)  — will grow to approximately USD 1.94 billion by 2033, representing a CAGR of ~6.7% over the period 2025–2033.

This growth is underpinned by several major factors: increasing incidence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD), rising demand for minimally invasive vascular interventions, and rapid technological advances — including directional, orbital, rotational, and laser atherectomy systems. The aging global population, coupled with improving access to outpatient surgical centers, is further accelerating adoption.

Quick Insights (IMR Analysis)

• 2024 Market Size: ~ USD 1,022.4 million
• 2033 Forecast: ~ USD 1,524.5 million
• Projected CAGR (2025–2033): ~ 6.7%
• Primary Device Types: Directional, Rotational, Orbital, Laser Atherectomy
• Leading Application: Peripheral Vascular (PAD) with growing coronary use
• Major End Users: Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs), Research / Academic Institutes
• Top Region: North America (largest share)
• Key Players: Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Avinger, Koninklijke Philips, BD / Abbott

What Opportunities & Trends Are Emerging?

Could advanced imaging-guided atherectomy reshape vascular interventions?
Yes — as real-time imaging (e.g., OCT, IVUS) becomes more embedded in device platforms, clinicians can achieve greater precision, minimizing vessel trauma and improving efficacy.

Is the shift to outpatient and ASC settings fueling device uptake?
Absolutely. With growing preference for same-day procedures, atherectomy device makers are optimizing systems for ambulatory surgical center settings, reducing hospital burden and improving access.

Will laser and hybrid atherectomy systems drive the next wave of innovation?
Very likely. Hybrid systems (e.g., laser + orbital) promise high efficacy in complex lesions, while next-gen laser technologies offer speed, reduced thermal injury, and improved safety.

Expert Commentary

“Atherectomy devices are evolving from niche plaque-removal tools into core minimally invasive therapies for vascular disease,” said Dr. Neeraj Gupta, Principal Consultant at Introspective Market Research.
“With PAD rising fast globally and technological innovation accelerating, we expect device makers who focus on precision, safety, and outpatient workflows to lead. The future lies in smarter, smaller, and more integrated platforms.”

Regional & Segment Dynamics

• North America: Continues to dominate, thanks to mature cardiovascular infrastructure, strong reimbursement, and high adoption of minimally invasive angioplasty and atherectomy.
• Europe: Growing uptake in both coronary and PAD settings, with increasing use of laser and directional systems.
• Asia-Pacific: Rapid growth driven by expanding healthcare infrastructure, rising PAD prevalence, and increasing access to interventional cardiology services.

By Device Type:

• Directional Atherectomy remains a workhorse due to precise plaque excision.
• Orbital Atherectomy is gaining ground for its versatility in calcified lesions.
• Rotational and Laser Devices: Innovation is speeding, with laser expected to address complex and calcified plaques more safely.

By End-User:
Hospitals continue to be the largest buyer, but ASCs and outpatient vascular labs are increasing adoption as cost, patient comfort, and access become priorities.

Breakthroughs & Innovations from Leading Companies

• Medtronic: Enhancing its directional atherectomy systems with advanced guidable catheters to tackle complex PAD lesions.
• Boston Scientific: Developing next-gen rotational and laser devices aimed at combining debulking with precision.
• Avinger: Focusing on hybrid imaging + atherectomy platforms that integrate real-time vessel mapping, boosting procedural safety.
• Philips: Investing in orbital systems with better control and lower profile access for minimally invasive centers.

Challenges & Cost Pressures

• High Device Costs: Advanced atherectomy systems (laser, orbital) remain capital-intensive for smaller centers.
• Training & Skill Requirements: Interventionalists need significant experience to operate directional and hybrid devices effectively.
• Reimbursement Complexity: Coverage varies widely by country and payer, especially for outpatient use and newer device types.
• Risk Management: Though minimally invasive, atherectomy carries risks like embolization; device design and technique must mitigate this.

Case Study (Illustrative)

A cardiology center in Western Europe adopted a hybrid directional–laser atherectomy system for PAD patients. Over 24 months:

• Procedural success for complex calcified lesions increased by 20%.
• Hospital stay durations dropped by an average of 25%, as many procedures shifted to outpatient settings.
• Patient-reported quality of life (walking distance, pain) improved significantly post-treatment.
• Cost savings were realized through reduced readmission and lower complication rates.

This real-world example highlights how strategic device adoption can drive both clinical outcomes and economic value.
