Using inhaled ICG to improve lung surgery in children

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the safety and effectiveness of using aerosolized indocyanine green (ICG) solution before surgery to enhance the accuracy of thoracoscopic resection of congenital lung malformations in children. Patients will inhale the ICG solution 30 minutes prior to surgery, allowing for better visualization of lung lesions during the procedure. The study includes preoperative evaluations and utilizes fluorescence imaging during surgery to differentiate between healthy and affected lung tissue. The goal is to improve surgical outcomes for children with specific lung conditions.
