Mapping chest wall blood vessels for partial breast reconstruction
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to find important blood vessels in the chest wall using ultrasound before breast surgery. If successful, it could help surgeons plan partial breast reconstruction more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are having breast surgery that is not an emergency (elective)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a specific type of partial breast reconstruction called a chest wall perforator flap. It's for women who previously had a lumpectomy and now want to improve the shape of their breast.
This trial studies patients who need surgery to rebuild part of their chest wall after a defect. It looks at how well different reconstruction methods work, especially for larger defects that can't be simply closed.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed implant that dissolves over time to help rebuild the chest wall after tumor removal. It may offer a safer and more personalized option for people needing chest wall surgery.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (VisR) to look at the structure of breast tissue and collagen in women with suspicious or known breast cancer. The goal is to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand breast cancer without needing a biopsy.
This study explores a new way to process ultrasound images of the breast. It is for women who have a finding, cyst, mass, or calcifications seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, and it uses a special ultrasound technique that may provide clearer images without extra radiation.
This trial tests a new Feminai device that maps breast tissue to find suspicious lumps. If you're coming for a routine mammogram or a biopsy, this could help improve detection.
