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), respectively. Good demarcation of the intersegmental plane by ICG was observed in 184 (88.0%) cases, with no correlation to the type of resected segments or the presence of obstructive lung disorder. Postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo classification grade 3 or more were observed in 5 cases (2.4%), and no ICG-related adverse event was noted. High-frequency jet ventilation was also used in 160 cases (76.6%) to delineate the intersegmental inflation-deflation plane. The air injected by high-frequency jet ventilation tended to spread further beyond the intersegmental plane that was depicted by ICG.

Conclusions

The use of ICG might demarcate the intersegmental plane more restricted to the target segment compared with air injection. Delineation of the intersegmental plane by ICG is feasible regardless of the type of segmentectomy or the presence of obstructive lung disorder, and it can be commonly applicable in pulmonary segmentectomy.

Project description:Phototherapy is a light-triggered treatment for tumor ablation and growth inhibition via photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). Despite extensive studies in this area, a major challenge is the lack of selective and effective phototherapy agents that can specifically accumulate in tumors to reach a therapeutic concentration. Although recent attempts have produced photosensitizers complexed with photothermal nanomaterials, the tedious preparation steps and poor tumor efficiency of therapy still hampers the broad utilization of these nanocarriers. Herein, we developed a CD44 targeted photoacoustic (PA) nanophototherapy agent by conjugating Indocyanine Green (ICG) to hyaluronic acid nanoparticles (HANPs) encapsulated with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), resulting in a theranostic nanocomplex of ICG-HANP/SWCNTs (IHANPT). We fully characterized its physical features as well as PA imaging and photothermal and photodynamic therapy properties in vitro and in vivo. Systemic delivery of IHANPT theranostic nanoparticles led to the accumulation of the targeted nanoparticles in tumors in a human cancer xenograft model in nude mice. PA imaging confirmed targeted delivery of the IHANPT nanoparticles into tumors (T/M ratio = 5.19 ± 0.3). The effect of phototherapy was demonstrated by low-power laser irradiation (808 nm, 0.8 W/cm(2)) to induce efficient photodynamic effect from ICG dye. The photothermal effect from the ICG and SWCNTs rapidly raised the tumor temperature to 55.4 ± 1.8 °C. As the result, significant tumor growth inhibition and marked induction of tumor cell death and necrosis were observed in the tumors in the tumors. There were no apparent systemic and local toxic effects found in the mice. The dynamic thermal stability of IHANPT was studied to ensure that PTT does not affect ICG-dependent PDT in phototherapy. Therefore, our results highlight imaging property and therapeutic effect of the novel IHANPT theranostic nanoparticle for CD44 targeted and PA image-guided dual PTT and PDT cancer therapy.
