NCT ID NCT07499206
First seen Mar 31, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This pilot study tests a simple method to reduce wound complications after groin vascular surgery. Surgeons will inject a blue dye into the skin around the surgical wound to make any lymphatic leaks visible, then repair them immediately. The study will enroll 60 adults and track whether this approach lowers rates of lymphocele, lymphatic fistula, and infection. If promising, the data will support a larger trial.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Patent Blue V dye injected into the skin to highlight lymphatic leaks during surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this simple dye method could become standard practice to prevent wound complications after groin vascular surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (60 people) with no control group, so results may not prove effectiveness. The dye may not detect all injuries, and treating leaks may not reduce complications.
