Trial summary

As the occurrence of thrombosis in post surgery is rare, it seemed difficult to study only this one. This is why we decided to test the bioimpedance, temperature and green, red and infrared light absorption measurements of the prototype during the weaning of the flap during surgery.

About this study

As the occurrence of thrombosis in post surgery is rare, it seemed difficult to study only this one. This is why we decided to test the bioimpedance, temperature and green, red and infrared light absorption measurements of the prototype during the weaning of the flap during surgery. Indeed, during weaning the investigators voluntarily interrupt the arterial and venous flow to transfer the flap to the breast. This weaning corresponds to a thrombosis model.

The patients will benefit from an "improved" postoperative monitoring. Indeed, in addition to the classical clinical monitoring, they will benefit from an additional monitoring during 5 days thanks to the realization of an ultrasound of the flap which will be carried out every 6 hours the first 24 hours then every 12 hours.

This protocol is therefore a feasibility study for the collection of data of interest.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • portable prototype of bioimpedance measurementDevice

    The device will be installed during the patient's operation. It will be attached to the healthy skin of the flap (without wound or scar) by sterile glue. It will then be covered with a self-adhesive "tegaderm" type dressing. The wound will be isolated from the device with a hermetic silicone dressing of the "Mepilex" type, for example. There will therefore be no communication between the measuring device and the surgical wound.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measurement of impedence

    Impedence measurement during episode of ischemia.

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing portable prototype of bioimpedance measurement in people with Breast Reconstruction and Thrombosis, Venous, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Raphael SINNA, Pr (03 22 08 90 04, sinna.raphael@chu-amiens.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of impedence (time frame: one day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
