Quantitative Fluorescence Angiography with Indocyanine Green for the Analysis of Ureterovesical Anastomosis Complications in Kidney Transplantation
Author(s): Andreas Wilson*
Relevant issues following kidney transplantation include urine leakage and ureteral stenosis. There is currently no accepted definition of ureterovesical anastomosis issues following kidney transplantation. This study was created to show the quantitative Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence angiography's prediction ability. 196 kidney transplantations were included in this bicentric historical cohort analysis, which was carried out between November 2015 and December 2019. In the context of donor, recipient, periprocedural, and postoperative features, the relationships between quantitative perfusion parameters of near-infrared fluorescence angiography with ICG and the occurrence of various grades of ureterovesical anastomosis problems were assessed. In 18% of cases, ureterovesical anastomosis problems followed the transplant. Three categories of complications have been established .. View More»
