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 study tests a new way to close a type of heart hole (atrial septal defect) using ultrasound instead of X-rays. It may help people who can't have X-ray guidance or prefer not to.
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 whether a special mobile surgical unit can safely close a type of hole in the heart (atrial septal defect) using only echocardiography as a guide. If you have a secundum ASD between 6 and 36 mm with signs of heart strain, this trial may offer a less-invasive treatment option.
This trial tests a new absorbable device designed to close a hole in the wall between the heart's upper chambers (atrial septal defect or ASD). The device is placed through a catheter—a thin tube—without open-heart surgery, and may help prevent heart problems from the hole over time.
This trial tests if a wearable ECG device can help monitor people recovering from a procedure to close a hole in the heart (atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale). It aims to find better ways to detect heart rhythm problems after treatment.
This trial studies how closing a common hole in the heart (atrial septal defect) affects the heart's electrical signals and rhythm. It helps doctors understand what changes to expect after the procedure.
