Discover how surgeons effectively manage anterior choroidal artery (AChA) aneurysms while minimizing the risk of ischemic complications. Learn about the successful use of indocyanine green video-angiography (ICG-VA) and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) to safely achieve complete occlusion, even in challenging cases involving small branches.

Ischemic vasculopathy poses unique challenges in lower extremity reconstruction. Discover the report of three cases where indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) emerged as a game-changing tool for assessing recipient vessels. Learn how ICGA enhances surgical decision-making and improves patient outcomes.

Discover the effectiveness of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICGFA) in reducing anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis reveal a significant decrease in leakage incidence. Explore the potential of ICGFA as a preventive measure

Really interesting presentations at the ASCRS, advocating use of ICG in colon and rectal surgery including this talk by Dr Matthew Albert on Assessing Conduit Perfusion in Colorectal Surgery which reviewed key trials including most recent EssentiAL study from Japan

ICG angiography is a safe and feasible method to help surgeons to identify the potentially poor colon vascular perfusion and modify the proximal colonic transection line, resulting in a significant reduction in AL and hospital readmission rate.

The results will contribute to adopt a new surgical strategy based on intraoperative ICG angiography before performing total thyroidectomy, according to which the rate of permanent hypoparathyroidism could be substantially reduced.

Application of intra-operative Indocyanine Green Angiography to optimize flap viability and minimizing the risk of facial nerve injury.

Intraoperative ICG staining plays a central role in MIALR. MIALR with the Glissonean approach and ICG negative staining, which is our standard technique, is a useful technique using ICG.

Using the near-infrared fluorescence real-time development technique to assist the biopsy of musculoskeletal tumors may improve the accuracy of core biopsy and help to avoid missed diagnoses, especially for some selected tumors.
