Detection of the Communication Site by Indocyanine Green Adsorbed to Human Serum Albumin Fluorescence During Surgery for a Pleuroperitoneal Communication

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract A pleuroperitoneal communication is a serious complication for patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is performed using indocyanine green adsorbed to human serum albumin fluorescence to identify the communication because human serum albumin reinforces fluorescence images. A patient diagnosed with a pleuroperitoneal communication was referred to our department and underwent surgery. To detect the communication, a dialysate mixture that contained indocyanine green and human serum albumin was injected from the CAPD catheter. Real-time fluorescence images were able to clearly show a bleb-like lesion with a near-infrared spectroscopy camera, and the site was repaired. The patient had no recurrence at one-year follow-up. This method might be good method for pleuroperitoneal communication surgery.
