New heart device tested in everyday use to seal birth defects
NCT ID NCT05887700
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is tracking 145 people who have a hole in their heart (atrial septal defect) and received the CeraFlex closure device. Researchers want to see how well the device works in real-world settings, focusing on safety and successful closure of the hole at 6 months. The device is implanted through a tube in a blood vessel, avoiding open-heart surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CeraFlex ASD closure device (a heart implant that closes a hole in the heart wall)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could confirm that the CeraFlex device is a safe and effective option for closing atrial septal defects without open-heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. Risks include device-related complications like stroke, embolization, or residual shunts.
