Laser speckle imaging to monitor leg perfusion before, during and after revascularization

SPECTATOR: Perfusion Monitoring Before, During and After Lower Extremity Revascularization With Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging

Observational Leiden University Medical Center · NCT07558174

This study tries a non-invasive laser speckle imaging method to see if it can measure blood flow in the legs of people having lower-extremity revascularization.

What this trial studies

This observational study will use laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) to record real-time perfusion of the lower limb before, during, and after revascularization procedures. LSCI measurements will be performed perioperatively and compared with standard indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence (ICG NIRF) and temperature readings to explore correlations. Participants are patients scheduled for lower-extremity revascularization at Leiden University Medical Center who undergo pre- and postoperative ICG NIRF imaging. The study aims to test feasibility and signal quality of LSCI as a quick, dye-free alternative for bedside perfusion monitoring.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults scheduled for lower-extremity revascularization at Leiden University Medical Center who will have pre- and postoperative ICG NIRF measurements and can give informed consent.

Not a fit: Patients who are not undergoing revascularization, cannot undergo ICG NIRF imaging as required by the protocol, or have medical conditions judged by investigators to jeopardize safety are unlikely to benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, LSCI could offer a quick, non-invasive way to visualize limb perfusion during revascularization and help surgeons predict or improve outcomes without dye injection.

How similar studies have performed: ICG NIRF has shown promise for guiding revascularization, but LSCI is a newer, non-invasive modality with limited prior clinical validation in this setting.
