Occlutech AFR Fontan Study for Failing Fontan Circulation

This study is looking at the Occlutech Atrial Flow Regulator (AFR) device in patients who have a failing Fontan circulation (a type of heart surgery for complex heart defects). It's an observational study, meaning researchers are reviewing existing medical records from patients who have already received the AFR device through a special FDA program. The goal is to understand how safe and effective the Occlutech AFR is in real-life situations. Researchers will specifically look at how well the device works to maintain a shunt (a small opening) one year after it's placed. About 25 patients will be included in this study. You can join if you've already been treated with an AFR device for failing Fontan circulation under the FDA's Expanded Access Program.

Study design
This is an observational study that will look at existing medical data from about 25 patients. It is a single-arm study, meaning all participants received the same intervention.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will evaluate the device's effectiveness at 1 year after the procedure.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

The patient has been treated with an AFR device (attempted or successful) for failing Fontan through the Expanded Access Program of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The candidate/candidate's legal guardian has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent unless the site's IRB provided a waiver of consent.

Exclusion

If a subject does not meet the eligibility criteria, they will be considered a Screen Failure and cannot be included
