Intraoperative indocyanine green angiography for the objective measurement of blood flow
摘要： Purpose: Intraoperative assessment of tissue perfusion is important to predict wound healing or improvement of symptoms in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or vascular trauma. There is no widely accepted standard for intraoperative measurement of tissue perfusion. Here, we report the use of indocyanine green (ICG)-based angiography to determine the blood flow in patients with PAD and vascular trauma. Methods: The SPY fluorescent imaging system was utilized. A dose of 3–5 mL of ICG (2.5 mg/mL) was injected intravenously followed by a 10-mL normal saline flush. The SPY imaging system was used to quantitatively assess perfusion. During the study period, the SPY imaging system was applied in 4 patients with PAD and one patient with vascular trauma. Results: In 3 patients with PAD associated with an ischemic wound, complete wound healing was achieved with the indication of viable tissue by the SPY system. In one patient with severe claudication in both lower extremities, the ICG angiography was used to determine the increased blood flow after revascularization. In the case of vascular trauma, this imaging system enabled the delineation of viability of the injured tissue. Conclusion: ICG angiography can determine the surface tissue viability in PAD patients. In cases of severe vascular trauma, the SPY system can be used to determine tissue perfusion. Further study is warranted to define the definite utility of this technology to assess perfusion, response to revascularization, and potentially, to predict the likelihood of wound healing.

Laser Doppler blood flowmeter as a useful instrument for the early detection of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease in hemodialysis patients: an observational study
摘要： Background: A simpler method for detecting atherosclerosis obliterans is required in the clinical setting. Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is easy to perform and can accurately detect deterioration in skin perfusion. We performed LDF for hemodialysis patients to determine the correlations between blood flow in the lower limbs and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Methods: This retrospective study included 128 hemodialysis patients. Patients were categorized into the non-PAD group (n = 106) and PAD group (n = 22), 14 early stage PAD patients were included in the PAD group. We conducted LDF for the plantar area and dorsal area of the foot and examined skin perfusion pressure (SPP) during dialysis. Results: SPP-Dorsal Area values were 82.1 ± 22.0 mmHg in the non-PAD, and 59.1 ± 20.3 mmHg in PAD group, respectively (p < 0.05). The LDF-Plantar blood flow (Qb) values were 32.7 ± 15.5 mL/min in non-PAD group and 21.5 ± 11.3 mL/min in PAD group (p < 0.001). A total of 21 non-PAD patients underwent LDF before and during dialysis. The LDF-Plantar-Qb values were 36.5 ± 17.6 mL/min before dialysis and 29.6 ± 17.7 mL/min after dialysis (p < 0.05). We adjusted SPP and LDF for PAD using logistic regression, SPP-Dorsal-Area and LDF-P were significantly correlated with PAD (p < 0.05). The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis indicated cut-off values of 20.0 mL/min for LDF-Plantar-Qb during dialysis. Conclusion: LDF is a simple technique for sensitive detection of early-stage PAD. This assessment will help physicians identify early-stage PAD, including Fontaine stage II in clinical practice, thereby allowing prompt treatment.
