Market Overview

Bifurcation lesions—complex arterial blockages at vessel branches—pose significant difficulties in interventional cardiology. These lesions make up about 15–20% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), requiring specialized stents, imaging techniques, and procedural methods. Advances in dual stent strategies, drug-eluting stents (DES), and imaging-guided PCI have improved treatment success and safety.

Growing cardiovascular disease prevalence, rising global PCI volumes, and advancements in intravascular imaging are driving demand for innovative devices tailored to bifurcation anatomy. Meanwhile, increasing clinical trial data is validating outcomes for two-stent approaches in complex lesions, supporting market growth.
