Heart rhythm changes after hole closure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how your heart's electrical activity changes after a catheter-based procedure to close a hole between the upper chambers of the heart. The goal is to better understand the heart's recovery after treatment, which may help guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an atrial septal defect (a hole between the upper chambers of your heart).
- The hole is the type that can be closed with a catheter (a thin tube inserted through a blood vessel).
- You are planning to have the closure procedure at Assiut University heart hospital.
- There are no other restrictions – all patients with this condition are welcome.

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 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 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 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 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 studies how changing pressure in the heart’s upper chamber before and after a combined heart procedure affects outcomes in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help guide safer, more effective care for patients who need left atrial appendage closure (a way to reduce stroke risk).
