ARIA II: A Phase III Randomized Controlled Trial of Near-Infrared Angiography During Rectosigmoid Resection and Anastomosis in Women With Ovarian Cancer
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out whether using the PINPOINT imaging system intra-operatively can reduce the risk of anastomotic leaks and other complications after surgery for ovarian cancer, compared with standard intra-operative assessments alone. The PINPOINT endoscopic fluorescence imaging system uses a special camera and a fluorescent (glowing) dye that can evaluate the blood flow of the bowel in real-time. If there is an area that appears concerning, the surgeon can correct the problem during the procedure.
