4.8.2Segment

Cardiovascular Devices

Device manufacturers producing pacemakers, stents, electrophysiology catheters, and structural heart repair products.

5
Verticals

Overview

Cardiovascular Devices covers manufacturers of pacemakers, defibrillators, stents, electrophysiology catheters, and structural-heart products. Structural heart — transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR, led by Edwards) and mitral/tricuspid repair — and electrophysiology (including pulsed-field ablation) are the high-growth frontiers.

It is a large, innovation-intensive category dominated by Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, and Edwards, with aging demographics and minimally invasive procedure shifts driving demand. The federal code (electromedical apparatus) is broad, also spanning neuromodulation and other electromedical devices.
