In May 2021, Emboline raised $55m in Series D funding to develop an embolic protection device designed for a comprehensive defense against emboli through trans-catheter treatments by effectively capturing and eliminating debris.

Contego Medical LLC, a leading pioneer in cardiovascular devices, achieved an important milestone when it received the highly sought-after CE Mark approval for its cutting-edge invention, Neuroguard IEP® 3-in-1 Carotid Stent and Post-Dilation Balloon System with Integrated Embolic Protection (Neuroguard IEP System). This announcement represents a significant progression within interventional cardiology. The combination of carotid stent and post-dilation balloon features state-of-the-art embolic protection mechanisms available on the Neuroguard IEP System that provide different ways of addressing this problem simultaneously.

In March 2021, Innovative Cardiovascular Solutions (ICS), LLC made another remarkable stride toward its goal of being at the forefront of research regarding embolic protection during structural heart and vascular interventions globally. The company has recently reported completing initial European clinical cases for advancing patient care with a new iteration of its groundbreaking EMBLOK™ Embolic Protection System.

Embolic Protection Devices Market Trends

• The growing incidence of cardiac diseases and the adoption of PCI are driving market growth.

Market CAGR for embolic protection devices is driven by the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disorders and neurovascular diseases among people, technological advancements in embolic protection devices, and increasing product launches by key market players in the diagnostic field are some of the prominent factors driving the market revenue growth. In addition, advancing demand for minimally invasive surgeries and growing government initiatives in research and development activities for pre-diagnostics contribute to revenue growth of the embolic protection devices market. Embolic Protection Devices (EPDs) capture blood and luminal debris inside the Saphenous Vein Grafts (SVG), preventing distal embolization during stenting. The most effective evidence-based method for periprocedural Myocardial Infarction and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events reduction during SVG treatments is to use EPDs. The American College of Cardiology recommends using EPDS where it is physically possible.

Additionally, increasing product launches and investment by key market players and initiatives by federal government agencies in the diagnostic field contribute to market revenue growth. For instance, in June 2022, Conformal Medical, Inc., a medical device firm manufacturing next-generation LAAO technology, announced the beginning of the CONFORM pivotal trial, with the first patients enrolled at two U.S. sites. The Investigational Product Exemption (IDE) research will compare the safety and efficacy of the firm's CLAAS System to commercially marketed LAAO devices to support FDA pre-market approval.

Technological improvements and breakthroughs in embolic protection devices are expected to boost the business outlook over the next ten years. Distal occlusion devices, distal filter devices, and proximal occlusion/flow-reversal devices, among other innovations, are intended to avoid embolic debris during endovascular operations. For instance, Medtronic's Mo. Ma Ultra proximal cerebral protection device uses a double-occlusion balloon system to guarantee proximal embolic protection before passing a carotid lesion. Continuous R&D targeted at enhancing these devices' efficacy, safety, and ease of use will contribute to their increased acceptance.

Government bodies, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and educational institutes across various regions are spreading awareness about cardiovascular and neurovascular diseases and their possible treatment by launching awareness programs driving the embolic protection devices market revenue.
