Intraoperative ICG for Systemic Sclerosis

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relative intraoperative improvement in perfusion between arterial reconstruction and sympathectomies with quantitative ICG. A minimum of 40 patients, 20 Sympathectomy Prior to Bypass (group 1) and 20 Bypass Prior to Sympathectomy (group 2), will be recruited for this study. This study will enroll participants in a one to one randomized study design. There is the potential risk of loss of confidentiality. The study involves the intraoperative assessment of perfusion by quantitative ICG. ICG is FDA approved for this usage and will be used according to its labeling. Assessment involves intraoperative quantitative ICG data, questionnaires, and patient and physician assessments. There are no additional physical risks associated with participating in this study over and above that of the planned arterial reconstruction (bypass) and sympathectomies.The information collected will be kept confidential and will comply with the HIPAA.
