Summary

This study tests a new device called Peritorq that helps doctors twist and control catheters during heart procedures in children. Researchers will check if the device works safely and reliably after the main heart procedure is finished. The study involves 25 children and teens (up to age 21) who are already scheduled for a heart rhythm study or ablation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Peritorq torque device
What this could lead to: If it works, this could make catheter handling easier and safer for children during heart rhythm procedures.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early-stage study with only 25 participants. It only tests the device after the main procedure is done, so real-world benefits are uncertain.
