Indocyanine Green Angiography for Continuously Monitoring Blood Flow Changes and Predicting Perfusion of Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap in Rats.

Conclusion: We gained valuable knowledge on the dynamic of blood flow changes and the course of flap perfusion inside the DIEP flap. Dynamic and continuous observation with ICG angiography through an SPY system is a powerful method for monitoring of blood supply in flaps that can be used to predict flap perfusion with a strong positive predictive significance.
