In vivo laser assisted microvascular repair and end‐to‐end anastomosis by means of indocyanine green‐infused chitosan patches: A pilot study

Abstract

Our study demonstrated the efficacy of laser tissue soldering by means of ICG-infused chitosan patches for the in vivo repairing of microvascular lesions and end-to-end anastomoses. This approach offers several advantages over conventional suturing methods and is technically easy to perform, minimizing the surgical trauma to vessels.
