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

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2014-08-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

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.
