Initial experience of virtual-assisted lung mapping utilizing both indocyanine green and indigo carmine
Virtual-assisted lung mapping is a bronchoscopic multiple dye marking technique that facilitates sublobar lung resections for unidentifiable pulmonary tumors. Marking failure reportedly occurs in 10% of cases. To overcome this limitation, we developed indocyanine green virtual-assisted lung mapping...

Summary: | Virtual-assisted lung mapping is a bronchoscopic multiple dye marking technique that facilitates sublobar lung resections for unidentifiable pulmonary tumors. Marking failure reportedly occurs in 10% of cases. To overcome this limitation, we developed indocyanine green virtual-assisted lung mapping that uses indocyanine green in addition to indigo carmine. Here, we report our initial experience of indocyanine green virtual-assisted lung mapping. |
