Summary
This study tested a special device called the GORE® CARDIOFORM ASD Occluder to close a common type of hole in the heart (atrial septal defect) without open-heart surgery. 125 people with holes between 8-35 mm took part. The device was inserted through a blood vessel in the leg and guided to the heart to seal the hole. The main goals were to see if the device could safely close the hole and improve heart function after 6 months.
