New eye for heart danger: dye could spot risky plaques

NCT ID NCT06957821

Summary

This early study aims to see if a special dye called LUMISIGHT can make inflammation inside blocked arteries visible to doctors. Researchers will test it on 25 people with severe carotid or leg artery disease who are already scheduled for surgery. They will compare images of artery pieces removed during standard surgery after patients receive either the dye or a saline injection.
