Utility of Indocyanine Green Angiography to Identify Clinical Factors Associated With Perfusion of Paramedian Forehead Flaps During Nasal Reconstruction Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Identifying factors affecting forehead flap neovascularization during nasal reconstruction surgical procedures using quantitative dynamics of fluorescence from indocyanine green angiography may be associated with reduced vascular complications.

Objectives

To identify quantifiable forehead flap perfusion measures using indocyanine green angiography during nasal reconstruction procedures and to evaluate clinical factors associated with neovascularization.

Design, setting, and participants

Retrospective cohort study of 71 patients at a tertiary referral center of Stanford University, Stanford, California, between January 1, 2010, and March 31, 2018, undergoing forehead flap nasal reconstruction surgery with flap perfusion assessed by indocyanine green angiogra
