# Intraoperative Blood Flow Evaluation Using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Angiography for the Surgical Reconstruction of a Hilar Renal Artery Aneurysm

## TL;DR

This paper shows how indocyanine green fluorescence angiography helps assess blood flow during surgery to repair a kidney artery aneurysm.

## Contribution

The paper demonstrates the utility of fluorescence angiography in evaluating renal artery reconstruction during surgery.

## Key findings

- Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography effectively assessed reconstructed blood flow after surgery.
- The method confirmed tissue perfusion in the kidney after aneurysm repair.
- This technique is useful for intraoperative evaluation in complex renal artery cases.

## Abstract

Surgical reconstruction is one of the standard treatments for renal artery aneurysm. However, its intraoperative evaluation is sometimes difficult depending on the operative field, aneurysm morphology, and peripheral blood vessel distribution. This case demonstrated that after renal artery reconstruction, indocyanine green fluorescence angiography is used to evaluate the results of repairing. This method is useful in visceral aneurysm evaluation not only for assessing reconstructed blood flow but also for confirming tissue perfusion of the renal parenchyma.
