Seeing lymph vessel damage during groin vascular surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) and will have vascular surgery in the groin area.
- You must be able to give written consent to join the study.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have had any prior surgery in the groin area.
- The surgical site in the groin must not be infected.
- The surgery must not require extra incisions (like for bypass surgery).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at whether a surgical procedure called lymphovenous bypass can help prevent leg swelling (lymphedema) after lymph node removal from the groin or pelvis. Researchers will observe patients who undergo this bypass to see if it reduces swelling compared to traditional recovery.
This study looks at whether special imaging tests done before surgery can help predict how well the surgery will work for women with arm swelling after breast cancer treatment. The surgery, called lymphaticovenous anastomosis, connects tiny lymph vessels to veins to reduce swelling. The imaging tests, which use a safe dye and ultrasound, may help doctors choose the best candidates for this surgery.
This trial tests if a surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) can reduce swelling in the leg caused by lymphedema. It's for people with mild to moderate lymphedema who have been cancer-free for at least one year.
This study tests a special imaging camera that measures blood flow in your leg before, during, and after surgery to improve the artery. The goal is to help doctors see in real time whether the surgery is working properly.
This study tests a surgical procedure (called supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenous anastomosis, or LVA) that connects tiny lymph vessels to nearby veins. The goal is to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) in women with breast cancer who are having lymph nodes removed and radiation therapy.
