This situation is expected to change dramatically over the next decade as the emergence of minimally invasive and transcatheter heart valve repair techniques significantly reduces the risks and costs associated with heart
valve procedures. Collapsible and compressible valve prostheses, transcatheter valve repair technologies,
anticalcification treatments, and innovative valve suturing technologies are among the key developments that
will enable this trend, and their impact is expected to be felt as soon as 2005, contributing to the 6.4% annual
growth in heart valves and related products, from $420 million in 2001 to $573 million in 2006. This initial
expansion will be followed by dramatic gains in the ensuing four-year period ending in 2010 as the transcatheter
segment alone primarily repair products used to treat congestive heart failure potentially exceeds $500 million.
Tissue-engineered heart valves are expected to become a clinical reality only after 2006; however, their impact,
too, will be significant. In the interim, tissue valve prostheses will continue to gain share from mechanical
prostheses, and improved products and protocols for valve repair, including minimally invasive surgical repair
performed without cardiopulmonary bypass, will increase their share of the total procedure caseload. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Overview of Heart Valve Disease II. Procedure Trends III. Product Markets IV.

Hundreds of thousands of patients in the U.S., including a large share with congestive heart failure, could potentially benefit from heart valve repair or replacement. However, because both are currently performed as
open heart procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, less than 94,000 individuals underwent heart valve
surgery in 2001 due to its invasiveness, risks, and cost.
