Ventricular assist device (VAD), also known as mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device, supports the pumping function of the heart. It is used to increase the amount of blood that flows through the patient’s body. It enables a patient with advanced heart failure to lead an improved quality of life once again. A ventricular assist device (VAD) helps in supporting either of the right or the left ventricle, however, is mostly implanted in the left ventricle. When placed in the left ventricle, it is called a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
Ventricular assist devices are commonly used in treatment of heart failure. The VAD transplant can be temporary or permanent depending on the function for which it is implanted. They are implanted temporarily when the patient is either waiting for a heart transplant or is receiving treatment to help the heart recover until it is healthy enough to pump blood on its own.
On the other hand, it is implanted permanently to ensure proper blood flow through the heart in the patient with abnormal ventricle function. Such applications of ventricular assist devices in treatment of heart failure increases its demand in the healthcare sector and thus boost the growth of the market. In addition, rise in awareness among the patients and healthcare practitioners about ventricular assist devices fosters the market growth.
Moreover, there are initiatives taken up by the governments and other organizations in creating awareness among the people regarding cardiovascular diseases and its advanced treatment options. For instance, the National Health Service (NHS) Long Term Plan for England designated heart failure as a priority in 2019, with a focus on promoting earlier detection of heart failure in the community through primary care networks (PCNs), a stronger emphasis on multidisciplinary teams (MDT)-led care, and quicker access to specialized care in hospitals. Such awareness programs initiated by various organizations increase the public awareness about advanced treatment options in heart failure including the ventricular assist devices. This further leads to the expansion of the ventricular assist devices market.
Although, various key factors are driving the growth of the market, there are few factors such as high cost associated with the device & implantation and serious risks involved in the procedure are hampering the growth of the market. These high prices create limitations in accessing ventricular assist devices majorly in developing and underdeveloped countries. Moreover, lack of awareness about advanced treatment procedures for heart failure among the people in underdeveloped countries also acts as a restraint to the growth of the market. In addition, implanting a VAD may result in blood clots and bleeding from the surgery that may cause infection and device malfunction, which act as a restraint to the market.
On the other hand, the key market players are investing on a large scale for the R&D activities related to ventricular assist devices. Companies are focusing on innovation to develop advanced ventricular assist devices that can overcome the drawbacks of the existing VADs. Moreover, large number of clinical and developmental studies are carried out to prove the efficiency of the devices, and to get the approval for the same. This is anticipated to drive the market expansion during the forecast period.
For instance, in October 2022, Abiomed announced that Impella RP Flex with SmartAssist received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pre-market approval (PMA), as safe and effective to treat acute right heart failure for up to 14 days. Thus, more such product approvals and launches contribute to the growth of the market. Moreover, surge in incidences of heart failure across the globe, new technological advancements in ventricular assist devices, awareness among patients about monitoring of the heart, and shortage of heart donors drive the market growth.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, “Ventricular Assist Devices Market," the ventricular assist devices market was valued at $1,338.53 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $2,880.66 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2022 to 2031.Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are medical devices designed to support the function of the heart in patients with heart failure. It works by assisting the heart in pumping blood and maintaining blood flow throughout the body. VADs are typically used as a temporary measure to support patients with heart failure while the patient undergoes further treatment, such as heart surgery. They can also be used as a bridge to transplant, allowing patients with heart failure to wait for a heart transplant while still receiving support from a VAD.
Key factors driving the growth of the ventricular assist device market include increase in incidence of heart failures, technological advancements, rise in patient awareness about heart failure treatment options and dearth of heart donors. In addition, growing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures such as VADs is also driving the growth of the market. VADs are becoming increasingly popular due to their minimally invasive nature and their ability to provide a bridge to transplant or recovery. Compared to traditional open-heart surgeries, VADs can be implanted with a smaller incision and minimal disruption to the surrounding tissues. This further results in a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and less pain for the patient having VAD implantation. Moreover, VADs can be used as a bridge to transplantation, allowing patients to recover and wait for a suitable donor heart without undergoing multiple open-heart surgeries. These advantages are contributing to the growing demand for VADs as a treatment option for heart failure which is boosting the growth of ventricular assist devices market.
Factors such as Expansion into new markets and increasing reimbursement policies is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of ventricular assist devices market. There is an increase in reimbursement for ventricular assist devices by the insurance companies, which makes it possible for the people in developing countries to procure the devices.
