NCT ID NCT07532369
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a device called the Occlutech Atrial Flow Regulator (AFR) in 25 people whose Fontan circulation (a surgery for a heart defect) is failing. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well to create a small hole between heart chambers to improve blood flow. Participants have already received the device through a special FDA program.
