Dye test for blood flow after pancreas surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses a special dye to check blood flow in the remaining part of your pancreas after surgery. It helps doctors see if the tissue is getting enough blood, which can improve healing and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having open pancreaticoduodenectomy (a specific type of pancreas surgery).
- You are not allergic to indocyanine green (a dye used during the procedure).
- You agree to participate in the study.
- Your surgery is done through an open incision, not a minimally invasive approach.

This trial tests a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) that is injected during pancreas surgery to see how well blood flows to the remaining tissue. The goal is to learn if this dye can help predict complications, such as leaks from the pancreas, after surgery.
This trial tests if using a special dye during surgery can reduce the risk of a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The dye helps the surgeon see blood flow to the remaining pancreas, which may improve healing.
This trial tests a special dye called indocyanine green to help surgeons see blood flow during surgery to remove part of the colon. If you have colorectal disease and need surgery, this could help make your operation safer.
This trial tests if a special imaging technique (fluorescence) can help doctors see how well blood is flowing to the bowel during emergency surgery for suspected mesenteric ischemia. This could help them decide which part of the bowel to remove, if any.
This study compares a special imaging dye (indocyanine green) that helps surgeons see blood flow in reconstructed tissue during head and neck surgery. The goal is to see if using this dye helps surgeons make better decisions about whether the reconstructed tissue will survive and heal properly.
This trial compares standard laparoscopic surgery to surgery using a green dye that helps the surgeon see the pancreas more clearly. It may help patients needing removal of tumors in the body or tail of the pancreas.
