New device may help surgeons see blood flow during Kids' heart surgery
NCT ID NCT07361523
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a handheld device called IntraOx that uses light to measure oxygen levels in heart and liver tissue during complex heart surgery in children. The goal is to see if it can give surgeons useful information about blood flow without interfering with the operation. Fifty children over age 1 having heart surgery at Boston Children's Hospital will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
IntraOx tissue oximeter (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could give surgeons real-time data on heart and organ blood flow during surgery, potentially improving decisions and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants. The device is not yet approved for children, and the readings won't change how surgery is done—so direct benefit is not guaranteed.
