Semi-quantitative assessment of flow dynamics during indocyanine green video-angiography in the treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas: how I do it

Authors: Rodolfo Maduri, Jacques Guyotat, Francesco Signorelli

Published in: Acta Neurochirurgica | Issue 7/2016

Abstract

Background

Indocyanine green video-angiography (IG-VA) is applied for intraoperative localisation and verification of surgical disconnection of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (iDAVFs).

Method

We describe the technique of semiquantitative flow analysis using Flow800 software that implements conventional IG-VA. Our method relies on simple comparison of the fluorescence curves of the exposed vessels, allowing precise localisation of the DAVF draining vein and verification of its surgical disconnection.

Conclusions

Semi-quantitative flow analysis with Flow800 software during IG-VA is a reproducible technique that may overcome the limitations of conventional IG-VA in the surgical treatment of DAVFs.
