Intraoperative assessment of spinal vascular flow in the surgery of spinal intramedullary tumors using indocyanine green videoangiography

Abstract

Intraoperative vascular flow assessment using ICG-VA was easy, repeatable, and practical without any significant procedure-related risks. ICG-VA can be used for careful analysis of spinal microvascular flow or anatomical orientation, which is necessary to ensure safe and precise resection of spinal intramedullary tumors.
