Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Uptake in Human Carotid Artery Plaque

NCT01873716 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 5

Last updated 2017-02-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This will be a pilot study of 9 patients undergoing standard-of-care clinically indicated carotid endarterectomy. The nine patients will receive an injection of Indocyanine green (ICG) at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg (maximum 25 mg) as an intravenous bolus.

Immediately following endarterectomy, the resected specimen will be immersed in normal saline. Ex vivo fluorescence reflectance imaging (FRI) and immunohistochemistry will be performed.

The investigators hypothesize that compared to controls, ICG-injected patients will demonstrate increased ex vivo and microscopic ICG fluorescence signal within areas of plaque.
