Prediction of Skin Necrosis after Mastectomy for Breast Cancer Using Indocyanine Green Angiography Imaging

Abstract

ICGA-guided trimming decreased the rate of deep skin necrosis requiring additional surgical treatment. Region of interest analysis indicated that a relatively low percentage luminescence (RP < 34) was indicative of the need for skin trimming, combined with a slow increase in the perfusion of the mastectomy skin flaps.
