Near Infrared Fluorescence Cholangiography During Cholecystectomy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Injection of indocyanine green (ICG) and Near Infrared Cholangiography Fluorescence (NIRF-C) for Cholecystitis. Completed, enrolled 99 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate an imaging system using Indocyanine Green (ICG) to assist in real-time identification of anatomy during cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). We propose to define the effectiveness of NIRF-C in identifying the cystic duct junction during cholecystectomy.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
2.5 mg of of ICG will be injected intravenously 60-30 minutes prior to surgery in order to visualize the biliary tree using a near-infrared light source and camera. An additional 2.5 mg of IV ICG may be given intraoperatively if fluorescence has faded prior to visualization.
These devices are used to identify anatomy, using infrared light that causes the ICG to fluoresce.
