Trial Outcomes & Findings for Long-term Safety Study of the GORE® HELEX® Septal Occluder (NCT NCT00581308)

NCT ID: NCT00581308

Last Updated: 2018-02-19

Results Overview

A calculation of the proportion of subjects with clinically successful defect closure as determined by the site at 1, 3, and 5 years postprocedure. Clinical Success is a composite measure of safety and efficacy evaluated at the 12-, 36-, and 60-month post-procedure evaluations and is defined as absence of: * Any major device/procedure adverse event * Repeat procedure to the target ASD. Repeat procedures were considered major adverse events and are included in the major adverse event group. * Clinically significant leak at the follow-up visit

Participant Flow

Data was combined from the following sources: (1) Continued Access Study of the GORE® HELEX® Septal Occluder (PMA Subjects HLX 03-01 - last 87 non-training subjects) and (2) subjects implanted with the HELEX device enrolled in the Post-Approval Study of the GORE® HELEX® Septal Occluder (n=128). The total number of subjects enrolled is 215.

Only subjects with a successful implant of the device were included from each study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: Subjects with Successful Device Delivery

A calculation of the proportion of subjects with clinically successful defect closure as determined by the site at 1, 3, and 5 years postprocedure. Clinical Success is a composite measure of safety and efficacy evaluated at the 12-, 36-, and 60-month post-procedure evaluations and is defined as absence of: * Any major device/procedure adverse event * Repeat procedure to the target ASD. Repeat procedures were considered major adverse events and are included in the major adverse event group. * Clinically significant leak at the follow-up visit
