Catheter closure of ventricular septal defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study gathers information on a procedure to close a specific type of heart hole using a device inserted through a catheter. It aims to evaluate how well this procedure works in different medical centers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a ventricular septal defect (a hole in the wall between the heart's lower chambers).
- The hole is between 3 and 20 millimeters wide.
- You are at least 1 month old and weigh at least 5 kilograms.
- You have a left-to-right shunt (blood flows from the left to the right side of the heart through the hole).
- You agree to let your medical data be used for research.

This trial monitors children who had a ventricular septal defect (VSD) closed with a device to see how they do over time. It checks if the closure stays effective and if there are any long-term issues.
This follow-up study monitors how well and how safely the Occlutech mVSD device works to close certain muscular heart “holes” (ventricular septal defects). You may join if you already had the device placed and can return for scheduled checkups to help doctors learn long-term outcomes.
This study looks at how well children do when their PDA is closed using a catheter (a thin tube through a blood vessel). It helps doctors understand the best ways to treat this common heart condition in kids ages 6 months to 16 years.
This study looks at the best treatment plan for people with a specific type of hole in the heart wall that affects the right side of the heart. It may help doctors choose an approach based on how well it works for patients who need treatment.
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.
