Role of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence to Assess Skin Vascularity in Peripheral Vascular Disease

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in predicting skin necrosis and wound healing in patients with peripheral vascular disease.
Used ICG NIR fluorescence imaging in patients post-surgery
Monitored skin vascularity and necrosis
Analyzed the predictive capability of imaging results
ICG imaging predicted skin necrosis in four patients
Highlighted the potential for forecasting wound healing
Indicated that imaging may reduce the burden of amputation surgery on healthcare

Abstract

ICG NIR fluorescence imaging was able to predict postoperative skin necrosis in four patients. The potential of predicting wound healing using ICG NIR fluorescence imaging will help to understand the burden of amputation surgery on health care.
