Identification of plaque location using intraoperative indocyanine green during carotid endarterectomy for patient with near occlusion.

CONCLUSIONS: The present study clearly denotes that ICG-VA can visualize the carotid plaque distal end during the CEA, even with the patient with near occlusion. However, it should be noted that there may be a difficulty in visualization of the distal plaque end for patient with severely collapsed distal ICA. PMID: 30259719 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
