Preliminary exploration of hepatic parenchymal near-infrared fluorescence imaging technique via retrograde biliary approach: a feasibility study (with video)

Abstract This paper explores the feasibility and principle of hepatic parenteral fluorescence imaging technology after retrograde injection of indocyanine green (ICG) through endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD). The data were collected from 53 patients with cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithi...

description Abstract This paper explores the feasibility and principle of hepatic parenteral fluorescence imaging technology after retrograde injection of indocyanine green (ICG) through endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD). The data were collected from 53 patients with cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis, from October 2022 to March 2023, diagnosed by fluorescence imaging technique retrograde biliary approach (FIT-RB). We divided the patients into two groups according to the features of liver parenchyma, the poor group (n = 34, including scattered or no imaging) and the good group (n = 19, regular uniform imaging). We compared and analyzed the perioperative results of the two groups and explored the influencing factors of the success of FIT-RB and the ICG concentration suitable for this imaging technique. The good imaging rate of the 53 enrolled cases was 35.8%. The bilirubin level before ENBD and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the poor group was significantly higher than that in the good group (P < 0.001). The proportion of higher ICG concentrations (0.5 mg/mL) was significantly higher in the good group (P = 0.028). Our results demonstrated that the success rate of good imaging was 4.53 times higher than that of low-dose ICG (0.125 or 0.25 mg/L) cases at 0.5 mg/ml of ICG. The level of total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were negatively correlated with the imaging effect, and total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels were important predictors of the efficacy of FIT-RB. FIT-RB is safe and feasible in patients with low site bilirubin levels. An ICG concentration of 0.5 mg/ml may be ideal for implementing this technique.
