Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Children and young adults aged 21 or younger who are already scheduled for a clinically indicated electrophysiology study and/or ablation at a participating center.

Probably not a fit

Adults over 21 and patients not undergoing an electrophysiology study or ablation are not eligible and would not be expected to benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional trial tests Peritorq, a novel catheter torque device, in pediatric patients (≤21 years) who have undergone a clinically indicated electrophysiology study and/or ablation. The device is applied only after the attending electrophysiologist has completed all necessary interventions and testing and does not change the clinical care plan. Safety and device performance data will be collected following completion of the clinically indicated procedure. Enrollment is limited to patients treated at participating sites.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the device could improve catheter control and procedural safety during pediatric electrophysiology and ablation procedures.

How similar studies have gone: While torque-control technologies for catheters exist, Peritorq is a novel device and pediatric-specific evidence is limited.
