AcuMark Balloon Study for Heart Hole Closure
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special balloon (AcuMark™ Sizing Balloon) to help doctors measure the exact size of a heart hole (atrial septal defect) before closing it. The goal is to make sure the closure device fits properly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a specific type of heart hole called a 'single secundum atrial septal defect' (a hole in the wall between the top chambers of the heart)
- The shape and size of the hole is suitable for a procedure that closes it without open-heart surgery
- You are already scheduled to have a procedure to close the hole
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are not currently in another research study that hasn't finished yet
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This trial tests a new way to close a hole in the heart (atrial septal defect) using only ultrasound pictures, without X-rays. It may help people who want to avoid radiation or cannot have X-ray-guided procedures.
This trial looks at whether a special 3D ultrasound picture helps doctors safely place a small device to close an atrial septal defect (ASD), a hole in the heart’s upper chambers. If you need ASD closure and are suitable for a device, the results could help improve guidance and outcomes.
This trial tests a new way to close a common type of hole in the heart using a small tube inserted through a vein, all performed in a mobile surgical unit that can come to you. The goal is to improve access to this minimally invasive treatment.
This trial tests a new device that closes a common type of heart hole (atrial septal defect) and then dissolves over time. It may help reduce strain on the heart and improve symptoms without leaving a permanent implant.
This study uses a wearable ECG monitor to track heart rhythm before and after a procedure to close a hole in the heart. It aims to detect irregular heartbeats early, which may help prevent complications.
This study looks at how children and teens recover after closing a common heart hole (ventricular septal defect) using a special device placed through a tube. It aims to see if the closure works well and how the heart does over time.
