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 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.
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 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 type of plug that dissolves over time to close a specific type of hole in the heart (called an outlet VSD). The plug is placed during a procedure and aims to close the hole safely while keeping the nearby aortic valve working properly.
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 study tests a new dissolvable device that closes a common heart defect called a patent foramen ovale (PFO), which can cause strokes. The device is designed to prevent future strokes and eventually break down in the body.
