Indocyanine green imaging for pulmonary segmentectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Delineation of the intersegmental plane during pulmonary segmentectomy by systemic injection of indocyanine green (ICG) has been rapidly emerging. We evaluated the feasibility of the use of ICG in a large-scale cohort according to the type of segmentectomy and the presence of obstructive lung disorder and compared the demarcation status with air injection.

Methods

We collected the data of 209 patients who underwent segmentectomy using ICG at National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. Data of the operation including the demarcation status of the intersegmental plane were analyzed retrospectively.

Results

The median operation duration and blood loss were 105 minutes (interquartile range, 94-118 minutes) and 12 mL (interquartile range, 5-24 mL), respectivel
