Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who are suitable for atrial septal defect closure.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with multiple atrial septal defects or other heart diseases requiring open heart surgery may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in determining the optimal device size for closing atrial septal defects (ASD). The investigators aim to predict the correct device size and validate a previously developed formula before performing the device closure procedure. By utilizing advanced imaging techniques, the study seeks to enhance the accuracy of ASD closures and improve patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more effective and safer device closures for patients with atrial septal defects.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promise in using advanced echocardiographic techniques for similar procedures, suggesting potential success for this approach.
