About NMT Medical, Inc.
NMT Medical designs, develops and markets proprietary implant technologies that allow interventional cardiologists to treat cardiac sources of stroke and other brain attacks through minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures. NMT Medical is investigating the potential connection between a common cardiac defect called a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and brain attacks such as stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA’s) and migraine headaches. A PFO can allow venous blood, unfiltered by the lungs, to enter the arterial circulation of the brain possibly triggering a cerebral event or brain attack. NMT is the leader in designing and developing implants to seal the PFO defect in a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure performed by the interventional cardiologist.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and leading cause of disability in adults. Each year 750,000 Americans suffer a new or recurrent stroke and 500,000 Americans experience a TIA. The prevalence of migraines in the United States is about 10%. Of the 28 million migraine sufferers in America, three out of four are women. Migraines have increased 50% in the last 20 years.
The Company also serves the pediatric interventional cardiologist with a broad range of cardiac septal repair implants delivered with nonsurgical catheter techniques. For more information about NMT Medical, please visit http://www.nmtmedical.com/.
