Fluorescence test for blood flow in emergency bowel surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have sudden severe illness that might mean the blood supply to your bowel is blocked (bowel ischemia)
- During surgery, the doctor finds that your bowel is not getting enough blood flow
- You are not allergic to iodine, indocyanine green (a dye), or shellfish
- Your liver is working normally
- You do not have an overactive thyroid gland (thyrotoxicosis)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are able to legally make your own decisions

This trial tests whether using a special dye to see blood flow during rectal cancer surgery can help reduce complications. If you are having laparoscopic or robotic surgery for rectal cancer, you might be able to join.
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 study uses a special camera to look at blood flow in the rectum during rectal cancer surgery. It aims to help surgeons see how well blood is reaching the remaining tissue, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
This trial tests a special green dye that helps surgeons see blood flow in the bowel during surgery. It may help reduce complications after removing part of the bowel for diseases like cancer or diverticulitis.
This study tests if a special dye can help surgeons see how well blood is flowing to the bowel after surgery, with the aim of reducing the risk of anastomotic leaks (where the joined parts of the bowel don't heal properly).
This trial compares two dyes used during stomach or intestine surgery to see which helps surgeons see the blood flow better. It may help decide which dye works best for safe reconnections.
