Ischemic strokes occur as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. The underlying condition of this type of obstruction is the development of fat deposits lining the vessel walls, which is known as atherosclerosis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stroke accounts for around 17 million deaths annually. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stroke leads to 1 out of every 20 deaths costing around USD 34 billion each year in the U.S. Higher rates of mortality associated with strokes highlight an impending need for innovative drugs and diagnostic devices.
The key strategies adopted by leading industry players incldues new product launches and collaborations. For instance, in April 2016, the novel TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) procedure launched by Silk Road Medical, Inc, received FDA approval. This minimally invasive technique is designed to access the common carotid artery. Moreover, in March, 2015, WATCHMAN, a closure device designed to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation received FDA approval.
