Groin incision direction study for vascular surgery patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two different ways of making an incision (cut) in the groin during blood vessel surgery. It aims to find out if one direction leads to better healing or fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery on a blood vessel that requires a cut in the groin.
- You have not had surgery in the groin area before.
- Your surgery is not for an emergency like bleeding, injury, or a false aneurysm.
- Your surgery is not done within the first 24 hours after coming to the hospital.
- Your surgeon does not expect to need a muscle flap (moving a muscle to cover the area) during the operation.

This study uses a special dye or imaging technique to see if lymphatic vessels (tubes that carry fluid) are damaged during groin vascular surgery. It could help doctors prevent complications like swelling after your operation.
This study looks at results of a minimally invasive procedure done inside blood vessels (endovascular therapy) for people with painful or worsening leg artery disease. It uses both past (retrospective) and future (prospective) patient information to better understand outcomes.
This study looks at what happens after planned (not emergency) groin blood-vessel surgery, specifically around the incision area. It may help improve how incisions heal and reduce problems after surgery.
This trial tests if one type of stitch (PDS) is better than another (Vicryl) for closing groin incisions after planned vascular surgery. If you're having elective groin surgery, you may be able to help doctors learn which stitch leads to fewer problems.
This study compares two ways of closing the large artery in the groin after a TAVI procedure (a minimally invasive heart valve replacement). It aims to see which method is safer and more effective, which could help reduce bleeding and other complications.
This study is testing a special tube (cannula) placed in the groin artery during heart surgery to connect a heart-lung machine. It's for people who are scheduled for planned heart surgery and may be helped by this refined device.
