Indocyanine Green Tissue Angiography Can Reduce Extended Bowel Resections in Acute Mesenteric Ischemia

Abstract

Purpose Surgical exploration and bowel resection are frequently required for treating non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia. Intraoperative evaluation of intestinal perfusion is subjective and challenging. In this feasibility study, ICG fluorescence angiography was performed in order to evaluate intestinal perfusion in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. Methods This is a retrospective analysis of 52 patients who were operated for acute mesenteric ischemia using ICG fluorescence angiography. Patients with occlusive disease requiring recanalization were excluded. The SPY and PinPoint imaging systems were used for open and laparoscopic surgery, respectively. Intraoperative macroscopic assessment of perfusion was compared with the ICG angiography results. Results Surgical exploration was performed for ischemia of the colon (n = 12), the small bowel (n = 23), or both (n = 16). One patient had ischemia of the esophagus and stomach. All patients had a preoperative CT angiography to rule out stenosis or occlusion of the mesenteric vessels. In 18 cases (34.6%), ICG fluorescence angiography provided information that was supplemental to macroscopic evaluation, but most patients did not survive the postoperative course. However, in six of those cases (11.5%), ICG angiography led to a major change in operative strategy resulting in a significant clinical benefit for those patients. For two cases, ICG fluorescence produced false negative results. Discussion ICG tissue angiography is feasible and technically reliable for evaluating intestinal perfusion in acute mesenteric ischemia and led to a significant clinical benefit in 11% of our patients. A relevant discrepancy between surgical visual assessment and fluorescence angiography was found in 35% of the cases, which may help to define resection margins more accurately and thus support surgical decision-making.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
