Cardiologists from 57 Countries Shed Light on the Markets for Cardiovascular Devices at TCT 2016

January 27, 2017 - Vancouver, BC – iData Research (www.idataresearch.com) recently conducted a face-to-face survey for catheterization lab, structural heart and coronary stents during the 2016 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) Conference in Washington, DC. Participants included cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists, interventional radiologists and general practitioners. Results have shown that clinical outcomes are the main deciding factor for respondents when choosing which brand of coronary stents to use. Respondents gave reasons for choosing a particular device, including price, availability of devices and existing relationships.

"This latest report is a global survey regarding demographic trends, concerns, experiences and preferences among cardiologists," explains Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. "Our iData team found answers to the questions posed by major cardiovascular device manufacturers regarding what they wanted to learn from the attendees of TCT 2016."
