Executive Summary
Following on the pioneering work of NMT Medical and AGA Medical, Cierra has come onto the scene with a completely new way to close the PFO (a congenital opening in the heart that can cause stroke and migraine). Diverging from the implant developers that came before, Cierra has a device-based approach for migraine that leaves nothing behind in the body.
