Breast Reconstruction

Abstract

ICG imaging provides real-time vascular flap assessment allowing for reliable identification of perforator perfusion zones that help guide intraoperative decision-making. The authors discuss laser-assisted indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent dye angiography being used for free flap reconstruction and prosthetic breast reconstruction as well as for other indications such as assisting in determining vascular compromise and providing the opportunity for preemptive intervention to minimize postoperative complications.
