Atrial Fibrillation Trial, Recruiting
Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People aged 19 years or older
- People who have had a patent foramen ovale (a small hole in the heart) closed using a minimally invasive procedure through the skin (rather than open-heart surgery)
- For the retrospective (past records) group: people whose procedure was performed between 2010 and March 2026, and who had at least one heart ultrasound using agitated saline (a bubbles test) after the procedure
- For the prospective (ongoing) group: people whose procedure is performed after the trial receives ethical approval, and who provide written agreement to participate
Who may not be able to join:
- People who had a different type of heart hole closed — specifically an atrial septal defect that is not a patent foramen ovale
- People whose closure device moved out of place or had to be removed
- People whose heart ultrasound images were not clear enough to assess whether the hole is still allowing blood flow through (confirm with trial site)
- For the prospective group: people who do not wish to provide written agreement to participate
