Vialize Use for the Reduction of Vascular Groin Incisional Dehiscence and Infection

United States50 participantsStarted 2023-10-23

Plain-language summary

Groin incisions in vascular surgery have complications in up to 30% of cases at 30 days, resulting in reductions in patient quality of life and increased costs. Prior attempts at reducing this complication rate have been largely unsuccessful. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of routine Vialize use for vascular surgeries involving a groin incision and to determine the rates of surgical site infection/dehiscence in such patients receiving subcutaneous Vialize.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * The study population will consist of patients undergoing vascular procedures with groin incisions. Patients must be at least 18- years-old and able to complete baseline measurements. All subjects will be compensated. Patients undergoing treatment for peripheral arterial disease (e.g., femoropopliteal bypass), aneurysm disease (e.g., aortofemoral bypass), end-stage kidney disease (e.g., loop thigh graft), and miscellaneous procedures (e.g., femoral exposure for delivery of device) will be eligible. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing use of negative pressure wound therapy (e.g., Prevena) and local antibiotic placement (e.g., vancomycin powder) will be excluded. Additionally, organ-transplant recipients will be excluded.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
