NeoChord, Inc. is a medical technology company based in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, that focuses on developing innovative devices for the treatment of degenerative mitral valve disease (DMR). Founded in 2007, the company has created the NeoChord Artificial Chordae Delivery System, a disposable device designed for minimally invasive mitral valve repair. This system allows surgeons to replace damaged chordae through a small incision of 2 to 3 inches between the ribs, enabling the procedure to be performed on a beating heart. This approach contrasts sharply with traditional methods, which typically involve larger incisions and stopping the heart, thus reducing recovery time and associated complications. NeoChord's technology aims to improve surgical outcomes for patients suffering from severe mitral regurgitation, which can lead to serious conditions such as atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure.
