Description
Liqing Zhao and colleagues trial a dissolving plug for holes between the heart's upper chambers, in a 2026 multicenter study. Standard plugs are metal and stay for life, which can bring late trouble. Their plug uses a frame that the body absorbs. One hundred twelve adults and children across seven centers were assigned by chance to the new plug or a metal one.
At six months every hole in both groups had closed fully, with no leak over the set size at any check. One new plug patient had the device removed at ten months for excess tissue growth; lab views showed the frame nearly gone under a smooth lining. At twelve months closure still held at one hundred percent in both groups. The authors call the showing promising while asking for longer watch.
