Heart electrical changes after closing a hole in the heart
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a type of hole in the heart called a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD).
- You are scheduled to have the hole closed using a thin tube (catheter) through a blood vessel, not open-heart surgery.
- You are being treated at Assiut University Heart Hospital.

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 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 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 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 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.
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.
