Near Infrared Fluorescence Cholangiography (NIRF-C) During Cholecystectomy -- Use in Acute Cholecystitis Sub-Study

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Acute Cholecystitis, Acute Cholangitis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an imaging system using Indocyanine Green (ICG) to assist in real-time identification of anatomy during cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) in patients with acute cholecystitis and cholangitis. We propose to define the effectiveness of NIRF-C in identifying the cystic duct junction during cholecystectomy.
