An interventional study of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence (ICG) and Temperature in Free Flap, Indocyanine Green and Microsurgery, sponsored by Indonesia University. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Indonesia. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-15.
Sponsored by Indonesia University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
This study is a randomized clinical trials that aim to determine the effect of Indocyanine Green (ICG) titration dose on the intensity degree of ICG fluorescence imaging results. In addition, this study will also determine the relationship of other indicators such as flap surface temperature, transcutaneous pressure of carbon dioxide (TcPCO2), transcutaneous pressure of oxygen (TcPCO2), HIF - 1 alpha expression, and flap histopathology morphology to the intensity degree of ICG fluorescence imaging results with titrated doses.
The ICG contrast solution will be evaluated with Near-Infrared (NIR) camera that being fixated 20 cm above the flap after the injection. The imaging result will be analyzed using ImageJ Application to assess the grey value. The fluorescent intensity of ICG will be compared with other tests.

The research assistant take 0,1 mL ICG is taken using 1 mL syringe using filter that originated from the Aurogreen package. The ICG in the syringe is added with 0,9 mL Dextrose 5%.
Diagnostic Test: Indocyanine Green Fluorescence (ICG) · Diagnostic Test: Temperature · Diagnostic Test: Transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide pressure · Diagnostic Test: Histopathology · Diagnostic Test: Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) alpha
The ICG will be injected intravenously and being assessed with Near-infrared (NIR) camera FLUORO4000XL 20 cm above the flap and fluorescence intensity counted with application called ImageJ
Also known as: ICG fluorescence
Portable thermal imaging camera called Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) ONE® was used to assess flap and normal skin temperature. The FLIR ONE® device was place in perpendicular manner from the skin. The images were attained in two points of times which is direct temperature and after cold challenge test.
The partial transcutaneous pressure is measured in flap using transcutaneous monitor (TCM) Combi probe. The probe should be cleaned using alcohol pads before use. After 5-10 minutes, the TCM 4 machine monitor should show stable transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide pressure from the flap
A part of tissue from free flap is acquired and stored in 10% formalin tube. Later on, the tissue was colored with hematoxylin-eosin, neutrophile count, necrosis volume, and vessel proliferation will be assessed
Peripheral tissue from distal free flap (0,5 x 0,5 cm in size) is obtained and stored in tube with dry ice. The tissue is assessed with human HIF - 1 Alpha Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit ab171577.
The Effect of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Intensity to evaluate free flap perfusion
The fluorescence of ICG that being captured with near-infrared (NIR) camera is store in video file to be evaluated. The video duration is 2 minutes long after ICG injection. The fluorescence intensity of the flap in the video is being measured with ImageJ application. The highest level of intensity (numerical data) is considered as the optimal fluorescence intensity that being analyzed later on. The optimal indocyanine green titration will be seen after ImageJ analysis in numerical data called gray values.
