BACKGROUND Early coronary bypass graft failures may be preventable if identified intraoperatively. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of two intraoperative graft assessment techniques, transit-time ultrasound flow measurement and indocyanine green fluorescent-dye graft angiography. METHODS Patents undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting with n...

BACKGROUND Indocyanine green angiography has gained popularity in breast reconstruction for its ability to assess mastectomy skin and tissue flap viability. The authors aim to analyze trends and outcomes associated with indocyanine green angiography use in breast reconstruction. METHODS Using 2012 to 2014 data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample, Agency ...

PURPOSE This study was performed to determine what role indocyanine green video angiography might play in the evaluation of choroidal melanomas, and to compare this role with that of fluorescein angiography. METHODS Six patients with posterior segment uveal melanoma underwent digital fluorescein and indocyanine green videoangiography. All patients were women and their mean age was 50.7 years....

A brief survey of the recent ophthalmic literature underscores a resurgence of interest in indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). This imaging method may be particularly useful for the ophthalmologist, as it provides at least a theoretical advantage for improved imaging of the choroidal circulation when compared with fluorescein angiography. New temporal and spatial technological advances (that ...

The indocyanine green (ICG) angiographic features of classic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) were evaluated in the 66 consecutive patients (70 eyes) by ICG angiography using the scanning laser ophthalmoscope. All patients had classic CNV documented by fluorescein angiography. Indocyanine green angiographic findings of classic CNV were as follows: Vessel architecture in 66% (46 of 70) of eyes...

PURPOSE Little is known about the choroidal circulation in human eyes with ocular hypotony. Recently, indocyanine green angiography (IA) became a useful method for examining choroidal circulation. The present study using IA was designed to determine choroidal circulatory disturbances in patients with traumatic hypotony maculopathy. METHODS Indocyanine green angiography was performed on 3 cons...

BACKGROUND To describe Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysms (RAMs). METHODS Four eyes of four patients with ruptured RAMs were prospectively studied. Vascular imaging was obtained using swept-source Doppler OCT, and compared with indocyanine green angiography images. RESULTS En face projection of Doppler OCT images clearly showed RAM...
