Trends in minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery in Japan


A new wave of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) adoption in Japan is emerging due to improved technology and the availability of reimbursement and surgical devices.

Our infographic looks at three MIS procedure areas currently exhibiting strong growth.

Highlights:

  • Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI): Drivers affecting growth in TAVR/TAVI use
  • Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG): Trends in the use of minimally invasive techniques such as off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) 
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): Regional disparity in PCI rate
