  • perimembranous VSD with no evidence of circular aneurysm formation
  • Associated cardiac anomalies requiring surgery (greater than mild aortic insufficiency; such as aortic valve prolapse)
  • Active endocarditis or other type of sepsis or other active infection at time of implantation
  • Thrombus at or near the intended site of implantation

About this study

Official title: International Multicentre Clinical Device Investigation on Safety and Effectiveness of the Nit-Occlud® Lê VSD Spiral Coil System for VSD Occlusion Developed by Pfm AG, Cologne

The Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common of all congenital cardiac malformations. By modifying the Nit-Occlud® PDA Device the Nit-Occlud® Lê VSD Spiral System was designed. as a percutaneous, transcatheter device for occlusion of (peri)membranous and muscular ventricular septum defects (VSD) with a spiral coil. In this clinical investigation feasibility, safety and performance of the new cardiac occluder will be evaluated in accordance with European and US regulations. The study data will be compared to performance criteria for VSD, which are deduced analogue to the published specific Objective Performance Criteria (OPCs) for PDAs. The first part of the study has been performed in three clinical centres in Germany. For the second part in April 2009 four additional clinical centres in Germany, Israel, Italy and Spain were included.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing transcatheter implantation of a VSD occluder (Nitinol coil) in people with Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular, run by pfm medical gmbh at 6 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Germany, Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

a set of Performance Criteria (PC) deduced for VSD analogue to the set of Objective Performance Criteria (OPC) of the 'Multiorganization Advisory Panel to FDA for Pediatric Cardiovascular Devices' for PDAs (time frame: Five years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Nov 2018.
