Evaluation of the Intraoperative Blood Flow of Pedicled Perforator Flaps Using Indocyanine Green-fluorescence Angiography

Conclusions: ICG-FA confirmed clinical findings and reliably detected tissue areas with hypoperfusion. A clear cut-off point between nonvital tissue and such that stabilized in the following clinical course could not be found. ICG-FA is a promising technology which could also be used in pedicled perforator flaps.
