Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging with Intravenous Indocyanine Green Method in Segmentectomy for Infants with Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation
Topic overview
This study demonstrates that near-infrared fluorescence imaging with intravenous ICG safely and effectively identifies lung segment boundaries during thoracoscopic segmentectomy in infants with CPAM. All 19 procedures were completed successfully without ICG-related complications, with excellent outcomes and no recurrence at 1-year follow-up.
Key takeaways
- Near-infrared fluorescence imaging with IV indocyanine green safely identifies intersegmental planes during infant CPAM segmentectomy
- All 19 consecutive cases (median age 5.12 months) completed successfully with no ICG-related complications or conversions
- Low-dose ICG provides accurate demarcation comparable to inflation-deflation technique with mean operative time 88 minutes
- Short hospital stay (4 days average) and excellent 1-year outcomes with no recurrence support adoption in pediatric thoracoscopic surgery
- This represents first reported series validating NIRF-ICG method specifically for infant population with congenital lung malformations
