Heart Catheter Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Teens and Adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how closing a heart valve problem (patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA) using a catheter procedure affects how your heart chambers change shape and work. Researchers want to understand if this minimally invasive procedure improves heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 12 years old or older
- You have a PDA (a heart valve that didn't close after birth) that doctors think can be safely closed with a catheter
- Your PDA is moderate-sized—not too small to detect or too large for this procedure
- You do not have severe, irreversible lung blood-pressure problems (Eisenmenger syndrome)
- You have no active infections or heart infections
- You are willing to participate in the study and follow-up visits

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 keeps a national record of babies with a heart connection called a PDA who are being considered for closure using a catheter procedure. It may help doctors improve how they choose treatment and devices for babies with different health needs.
This study checks how well and how safely the Occlutech PDA Occluder works over time to close a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). You may be considered if your PDA can be treated with this non-surgical device and you can return for follow-up visits.
This trial compares an early procedure to close a heart vessel called the ductus arteriosus versus careful observation alone in very low-birth-weight preterm infants. It aims to see whether closing the vessel early can improve outcomes and be done safely.
This study follows patients who had a small heart device (HeartR PDA Occluder) placed to close an opening in their heart called a PDA. Researchers will check how well the device is working and track the patient's health over time.
This study uses ultrasound to see if a heart blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus has closed after treatment in premature infants. It aims to find a better way to monitor the response to treatment without X-rays.
