Study population: There will be no pre-selection of patients for enrollment in this registry. The criteria provided in the Instructions For Use should be followed. The study cohort will thus consist of consecutively enrolled patients at the discretion of the treating physician

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with haemodynamically significant perimembranous defects which are located in the ventricular septum

Who cannot join

  • Occlutech® PmVSD Occluder is contraindicated for the following:
  • Patients with defects less than 2 mm aortic rim and/or interference with the aortic or atrioventricular valves
  • Patients less than 10.0 kg
  • Patients with sepsis (local or generalized)
  • Patients with left ventricle to right atrial shunting
  • Patients with right to left shunting through the defect

  • Patients with PmVSD with an aneurysm and multiple shunts that could not be successfully closed with one device
  • Patients with complex heart lesions such as tetralogy of fallot
  • History of repeated pulmonary infection
  • Any type of serious infection 1 month prior to procedure
  • Malignancy where life expectancy is less than 3 years

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, International, Follow-up Study to Monitor the Efficacy and Safety of the Occlutech® Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect (PmVSD) Occluder in Patients With Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defects

The objective of this registry is to gain more insight on the clinical use of the Occlutech perimembranous VSD occluder.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To confirm the efficacy of Occlutech PmVSD in patients requiring transcatheter occlusion (closure) of perimembranous ventricular septal defects.

    The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as successful implantation of the device with a proper closure of the pmVSD (defined as reduction in VSD shunt of more than one grade as assessed by TTE post implantation).

    Measured: 1 year following implantation

  2. To confirm the safety of Occlutech PmVSD in patients requiring transcatheter occlusion (closure) of perimembranous ventricular septal defects.

    The primary safety endpoint is defined as absence of Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADEs) including procedure-related death, procedure-related stroke, systemic embolism, severe hemolysis, complete heart block requiring pacemaker implantation or device explantation, new-onset of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), new onset of severe aortic regurgitation (AR), device embolization, severe right-left ventricular outflow obstruction (RVOTO-LVOTO), cardiac tamponade, infective endocarditis or vascular complications requiring surgery.

    Measured: 1 year following implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect, run by Occlutech International AB at 8 sites in 4 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 1 inclusion and 17 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Turkey (Türkiye), Thailand, Ireland, Vietnam. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

To confirm the efficacy of Occlutech PmVSD in patients requiring transcatheter occlusion (closure) of perimembranous ventricular septal defects. (time frame: 1 year following implantation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
