Determination of Parathyroid Function by Fluorescence With Indocyanine Green (ICG) After Total Thyroidectomy

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2020-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The intensity of parathyroid fluorescence that occurs after intravenous injection of indocyanine green during the performance of a total thyroidectomy correlates with postoperative parathyroid function and could be used as a diagnostic marker of postoperative hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia.

• Phase: Phase 4
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
