Official title

Assessing the Role of Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Perfusion of the Transected Pancreas in Predicting Postoperative Pancreatic Leaks

Overview

This study evaluates the use of indocyanine green to predict postoperative pancreatic leaks in patients undergoing transection of the pancreas.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine if altered measurement results of ICG after pancreatectomy is associated with leak rates.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study.

Patients receive indocyanine green intravenously (IV) during surgery, undergo imaging and have their medical records reviewed on study.

Interventions

  • Other Non-Interventional Study
    Non-interventional study

Primary outcome measures

  • Incidence of biochemical leak or fistula after pancreatectomy. [Time frame: Up to 30 days after surgery]
  • Perfusion status [Time frame: During surgical intervention (hours)]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
  • Leak grade via ISGPS classification [Time frame: Up to 30 days after surgery]
  • Leak grade by ICG metrics [Time frame: Up to 30 days after surgery]
  • Best practice usage of ICG for pancreatic surgery [Time frame: Assessed at surgery number 15, approximate 6 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Participant scheduled for open pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy for any diagnosis
  • Participant ≥ 18 years of age
  • Ability to understand nature and individual consequences of clinical trial
  • Written informed consent from participant or legally authorized representative
  • For participants of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test and adequate contraception until 14 days after trial intervention
  • Participant needs to have an operative drain (any closed suction drain) after the procedure
  • Participants that do not require arterial reconstruction
  • Participants that require minor portal venous recounstructions including patch venoplasty

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with previous history of adverse reaction to contrast dye, ICG or components of the dye
  • Prior pancreatectomy
  • Known diagnosis of hepatic insufficiency, hepatitis, liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, or chronic pancreatitis
  • Because this study focuses on hypoperfusion, patients will be excluded if in postoperative day 3-5 had any of the following: persistent SBP <90 mmHg unresponsive to 1L crystalloid, unexpected ICU transfer, blood transfusion of >2 units intraoperatively or 1 postoperatively, vasopressor treatment or ACLS protocol initiation
  • Organ failure, anuria or NSQIP-identified complication will be reviewed by PI and attending surgeon and excluded
  • Patients that require arterial reconstruction as part of their procedures
