Who We Are

NMT Medical is leading the emerging field of structural heart repair.  We are an advanced medical technology company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary implant technologies that allow interventional cardiologists to treat certain structural heart disease through minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures.  We are investigating the potential connection between a common cardiac defect that allows a right to left shunt or flow of blood through a defect like a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and brain attacks such as embolic stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), and migraine headaches.  A right to left shunt can allow venous blood, unfiltered and unmanaged by the lungs, to directly enter the arterial circulation of the brain, possibly triggering a cerebral event or brain attack. 

With each generation of NMT Medical’s cardiac septal repair technologies, the improvements aren’t incremental, they are revolutionizing.  BioSTAR®, the first bioabsorbable septal repair implant, and its in-development successor BioTREK™, are the most advanced technologies of their kind.  NMT’s next generation technologies, ground breaking clinical trials, and a close collaboration with the clinical community which inspires progressive treatment options, is securing a bright future for patients.
