Simultaneous Assessment of Luminal Integrity and Vascular Perfusion of the Gastrointestinal Tract Using Dual-Channel Near-Infrared Fluorescence

Simultaneous Assessment of Luminal Integrity and Vascular Perfusion of the Gastrointestinal Tract Using Dual-Channel Near-Infrared Fluorescence

Anastomotic complications such as stenosis and leakage in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can cause high patient morbidity and mortality. To identify the potential preconditions of these complications intraoperatively, we explored the use of two 700 nm near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores administered i...
