Measuring tissue oxygen during vascular surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this monitoring can help doctors better understand blood flow during the operation, which may help improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 90 years old.
- You are scheduled for peripheral artery bypass surgery or another type of proximal arterial reconstruction (a procedure to restore blood flow in a major artery).
- You are able and willing to give informed consent to participate.
- You do not have a known severe allergic reaction to nickel.

This trial tests a new imaging device that measures oxygen levels in foot tissue to help evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD). It could help doctors better assess blood flow problems without invasive tests.
This study looks at how blood flow and oxygen levels in your leg muscles change after a procedure to restore blood flow. It uses a special MRI scan to measure these changes, which could help improve future treatments.
This study is testing a method to monitor oxygen levels in tissue and blood during major surgery. Researchers want to see if this can help doctors better understand how the body is coping during the operation, which might lead to improved patient care.
This study tests a special light-based tool that checks how well oxygen is getting to the new tissue after your flap surgery. It aims to catch blood flow problems early, which could help prevent complications.
This study tests a special sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) that checks blood flow to the heart and other organs during heart surgery. It may help doctors monitor and improve care for children having complex heart procedures.
This study measures oxygen levels in the heart muscle during open-heart surgery using a light-based technique. You may qualify if you are an adult scheduled for this surgery and can provide consent.
