Closing heart holes in a mobile unit
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 8 years old.
- You have a type of heart hole called a secundum atrial septal defect, measuring between 6 and 36 millimeters.
- The hole must be causing extra blood flow to the right side of your heart.
- The tissue around the hole must be thick and strong enough to safely hold the closure device.
- You must not have other heart conditions that require surgery at the same time.

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 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 a new device that closes a common type of heart hole (atrial septal defect) and then dissolves over time. It may help reduce strain on the heart and improve symptoms without leaving a permanent implant.
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 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 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.
