Application of microscope integrated indocyanine green video-angiography during microneurosurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms: a review

Acta Neurochir Suppl. 2010:107:107-9. doi: 10.1007/978-3-211-99373-6_17.

Abstract

Indocyanine Green Video Angiography (ICG-VA) is recently introduced to the practice of cerebrovascular neurosurgery. This technique is safe and noninvasive and provides reliable real-time information on the patency of blood vessels of any size, as well as residual filling of aneurysms. In this article, a review of the literature and our experience with ICG-VA during microneurosurgery of intracranial aneurysms is presented.
