Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and implanted with the device as per IFU instructions.
  2. Patients or legally authorized representatives have signed Data Release Consent or equivalent documents.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Investigational drug or device

Groups and cohorts

  • ASD subjects

    Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and implanted with the investigational device.

    Device: CeraFlex™ Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure System

Interventions

  • DeviceCeraFlex™ Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure System

    The CeraFlex™ ASD Occluder have two types of occluders, CeraFlex™ ASD Occluder and CeraFlex™ Multi-fenestrated (Cribriform) ASD Occluder. The CeraFlex™ ASD Occluder is percutaneous, transcatheter closure devices for the non-surgical closure of atrial septal defects.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Procedural success

    Procedural success is defined as a composite of: 1. Absence of stroke/TIA, device embolization, cardiac or vascular perforation or device/procedure related death, assessed at 6 months post-implantation. 2. Successful closure of the defects, with no, trivial or small residual shunt confirmed by Doppler echocardiography at 6 months post-implantation.

    Time frame: 6 months post-implantation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of moderate or large residual shunt

    Time frame: At procedure, 6 months and 12 months post-implantation

  2. Incidence of device or procedure related Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: From attempted procedure to 24 months post-implantation

  3. Incidence of device or procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: From attempted procedure to 24 months post-implantation

  4. Incidence of Device Deficiencies (DD)

    Time frame: From attempted procedure to 24 months post-implantation

  5. Incidence of death

    Time frame: From attempted procedure to 24 months post-implantation

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
