Beta-adrenergic receptor blockers decrease intravenous anesthetic dose requirements. The present study determined the effect of propranolol on indocyanine green and antipyrine disposition from the moment of rapid intravenous injection. Anti-pyrine is a physiological marker that distributes to a volume as large as total body water in a blood flow-dependent manner and is a pharmacokinetic surroga...

Sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer can help to provide the prognostic information needed while avoiding the morbidity associated with a complete lymphadenectomy. Studies with blue dye and technetium colloid have only given about 80% detection rates whereas with indocyanine green injection and fluorescence imaging, it gives about 88-100% detection rates. Herein, we report a case w...

BACKGROUND Nipple-sparing techniques have improved the aesthetics of reconstruction following mastectomy, but nipple necrosis complicates up to 37% of procedures, distressing patients, delaying adjuvant therapy, and compromising outcomes. No method reliably detects nipple necrosis better than clinical assessment of tissue perfusion. We prospectively assessed the accuracy of intraoperative indoc...

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...

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...

To determine whether a defect in uptake of organic anions is present in patients with benign recurrent cholestasis, the plasma disappearance of simultaneously injected indocyanine green and cholyglycine-1-14C was measured in eight patients with asymptomatic benign recurrent cholestasis, four with the familial type, as well as 22 healthy control subjects. Evans blue was also simultaneously injec...

We present experimental results on the in vitro and in vivo study of dye diffusion into human skin and hair follicles. We have studied some commercially available dyes for potential using in the laser selective thermolysis. The degree and the depth of hair follicle dyeing inside the skin were determined. For hairs in different stages the sebaceous gland was stated as a reservoir for a dye admin...

Intraoperative fluorescent imaging using indocyanine green enables vascular surgeons to confirm the location and states of the reconstructed vessels during surgery. Complex renal artery aneurysm repair involving second order branch vessels has been performed with different techniques. We present a case of ex vivo repair and autotransplantation combining the advantages of minimally invasive surg...
