Usefulness of near-infrared angiography for identifying the intersegmental plane and vascular supply during video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy†

Abstract

Indocyanine green angiography provides technical support for identifying the intersegmental plane and the vasculature during VATS segmentectomy. It contributes to the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic excisions of small nodules that are often not visible and not palpable during VATS.
