Fluorescent image-based evaluation of gastric conduit perfusion in a preclinical ischemia model.

Conclusions: We successfully created an ischemic animal model of the gastric conduit. Using this animal model, we evaluated the sensitivity and applicability of the fluorescent imaging system for observation and identification of ischemic areas during an esophagectomy. PMID: 30416783 [PubMed]
