First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new device called Absnow that can close a common type of hole in the heart (atrial septal defect) and then dissolve over time. 165 patients, including children as young as 3, received the device. The goal was to see if it safely closes the hole without major problems like the device moving or causing irregular heartbeats.
