New monitoring technique for vascular surgery falls short
NCT ID NCT04913493
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding a special imaging test (Cytocam-IDF) to standard monitoring during major vascular surgery could help patients leave the hospital sooner. The trial was planned for more participants but was stopped early after only 22 people took part. Because it was terminated, we cannot draw firm conclusions about whether the extra monitoring helps or not.
