NCT04005898

Brief Summary

The objective of this clinical trial is to visualize the bile ducts by injecting a contrast that is only visible with infrared light. For this, we administrate an intravenous low dose of ICG before a cholecystectomy. During the intervention the tissue will be exposed to infrared light to visualize the bile ducts. This technique aims to increase safety in surgery to avoid damaging bile or vascular structures during gallbladder interventions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Visualization of the cystic duct, common hepatic duct, common bile duct and cysticocholedochal junction.

    Percentage of patients for whom fluorescence allows visualize cystic duct, common hepatic duct, common bile duct and cysticocholedochal junction with precision. cysticocholedochal junction.

    Intra-operatively

Study Arms (1)

Experimental: near-infrared cholangiography

EXPERIMENTAL

Each subject included in the study will be subjected to a fluorescence cholangiography. The control group will be the same patient. The study consists of knowing if fluorescence is able to visualize structures that are not seen with the naked eye. For this purpose the structures are visualized with normal light and then with infrared light of the same patient. During laparoscopic cholecystectomy it will change between normal and infrared light.

Device: Near-infrared fluorescence cholangiography

Interventions

Real-Time Fluorescence Imaging (VISERA ELITE II Imaging System). These device is used to identify anatomy, using infrared light that causes the indocianine green to fluoresce.

Experimental: near-infrared cholangiography
