Prophylactic Muscle Flaps in Vascular Surgery

NCT04399044 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 5

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Previous studies have suggested that prophylactic muscle coverage in high-risk patients undergoing revascularization procedures through a groin incision have the potential to reduce rates of complications and re-operation. This is a prospective randomized control trial to test this hypothesis at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics.

Conditions

  • Vascular Graft Infection

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Prophylactic muscle flap

A "muscle flap" refers to taking an expendable muscle with its vascular supply and moving it to a new area. In this case, the investigators will take a muscle from the leg or abdomen that is redundant (other muscles perform the same function) and moving it to cover vascular grafts to provide healthy tissue to prevent infection.
