Drug-eluting balloon (DEB) catheters are advanced percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) devices used primarily in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Unlike conventional balloons, DEB catheters deliver antiproliferative drugs (e.g., paclitaxel or sirolimus) directly to the vessel wall during angioplasty, reducing the risk of restenosis without leaving behind a permanent implant (like a stent).
The DEB catheters market is gaining traction due to its minimally invasive approach, lower restenosis rates, and effectiveness in treating complex lesions, in-stent restenosis (ISR), and small vessel disease. Increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, growing geriatric population, and technological advancements are further fueling market growth.
The global drug-eluting balloon catheters market was valued at USD 657.64 million in 2022, increasing at a CAGR of 9.04% from 2022 to 2030 and anticipated to reach USD 1314.24 million by 2030.
