Ease the burden for millions of heart failure patients

The InterShunt Percutaneous Atrial Shunt Catheter System (PAS-C)

InterShunt is developing a proprietary transcatheter system to safely and easily excise tissue from the interatrial septum, forming a left-to-right atrial shunt that relieves elevated left atrial pressure and reduces symptoms in Heart Failure patients. The mechanical system is the only interatrial shunting device requiring no implant or energy.

Our Mission

More than 6 Million Americans suffer from Heart Failure and for many of these patients, solutions are limited. As pressure builds in a failing heart, the problem makes its way upstream to the lungs making it difficult to breathe. There is evidence that when elevated pressure is relieved from the left atrium, a patient's breathing is restored while performing normal daily activities.
