NCT ID NCT06957821
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special dye called LUMISIGHT can make inflammation visible in artery plaques removed during surgery. Inflammation is a key driver of heart attacks and peripheral artery disease, but doctors currently lack a way to see it clearly. The study will compare plaques from 25 people who receive the dye before surgery against those who get a saltwater placebo, to see if the dye lights up inflamed areas.
