Stroke is the third-leading cause of death in the United States—behind cancer and heart disease—and it is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability.  Research conducted during the 1990s increased understanding of the workings of the brain and increased understanding of how disease affects the brain.  Stroke management is still in the infant stages of development, and it is expected that there will be significant breakthroughs in all facets of stroke management.

This stroke management report is designed to present the most up-to-date information on the entire stroke market.  The report concentrates on the following areas:

• Management of stroke, including stroke-related costs, education and training, treatment guidelines, and patient outcomes research studies;

• Diagnosis of stroke, including early diagnosis, diagnostic tools in use, research and development, and procedure volumes and reimbursements;

• Pharmaceutical products, including prevention, early intervention, treatment, market forecasts, and market shares;

• Stroke treatment devices, including catheter-based products (balloons, coils, stents, PVA, and glues), microcatheters, guidewires, and aneurysm clips, with procedure volumes, market forecasts, and market shares; 

• Surgical interventions for stroke, including carotid endarterectomy and extracranial/intracranial bypass, and procedure volumes and reimbursements; and

• Analysis of the current and future stroke management markets, including historical market size for the years 1996 through 2000, the base year 2001, and future market sizes for the years 2002 through 2006.

The methodology employed in this report includes extensive use of primary interviews with senior management from stroke management pharmaceutical, stroke device, and research-based companies.  Background information was obtained from a comprehensive search of published literature, reports, and surveys from various government, business, medical trade, and international journals.  Key information from published literature was used as a basis for interviews with over 75 industry executives and product managers, who were asked to validate the information and provide their expert opinions on current and future trends in the field of stroke management.  Interviews were also used to confirm and/or adjust market size, market shares, and projected market activities.

All market data pertain to the United States market at the manufacturers level unless otherwise noted (e.g., reimbursements) and are expressed in current U.S. dollars.  The base year for data was 2001; historical data are provided for years 1996 through 2000; and forecast data are provided for 2002 through 2006.  Market shares are provided for each market segment for the 2001 base year.  

(Note:  Although all industry activities and competitor information is current as of April 2003, the base year for market figures and competitor market shares is 2001 due to the delay in availability of mortality figures, procedure volume information, and other data needed to calculate the stroke portion of sales and procedures.  All market information specifically characterizes the stroke portion of sales, procedure volumes, and reimbursements.)
