Lymphovascular Abnormalities Under Tattoos

NCT05515146 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 19

Last updated 2022-08-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The number of tattooed people is increasing and some complications secondary to tattoos suggest that the lymphatic vascular system might be implicated in their pathogenesis. Abnormalities have been described at the level of the lymph nodes draining the tattooed areas but nothing was reported about the lymphatic vessels under tattoos. This is the aim of the present work.

Conditions

  • Tattoo

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

near infra red fluorescence lymphatic imaging

ICG (0.2 ml from 25mg of ICG diluted by 5.0 ml of aqua ad injectabilia) was injected intradermally at the basis of the tattooed cutaneous area and at one point chosen so that the tracer had to flow under this area directly towards the root of the limb
