Objectives: Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography is used for the intra-operative assessment of the graft vessel in coronary artery bypass grafting to enable immediate revision if necessary. We report the feasibility and implications of an ICG colour imaging system, HyperEye Medical System (HEMS), in surgeries for arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) which carry risk of mesenteric ischaemia.
Methods: HEMS ICG angiography was used for the intra-operative assessment of 12 ASO patients and 10 AAA patients.
Results: In the ASO patients, HEMS angiography enabled visualisation of the graft and native artery. The fluorescent lucent region in the artery distal to the anastomosis was shown in 1 of 12 ASO patients. There was a 3-s time lag in the increase of intensity between the proximal artery and distal stenotic region. In AAA patients, HEMS angiography clearly showed the perfusion in the mesenteric arteries and intestinal wall as opaque. One AAA patient had segmental ischaemia due to thromboembolism and another one had diffuse ischaemia due to systemic malperfusion. The ischaemic region of the intestine was visualised as a fluorescent lucent area by HEMS angiography.
Conclusion: HEMS angiography can accurately assess peripheral arterial perfusion in surgical cases with ASO and AAA.

Article Synopsis
- *Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the primary diagnostic method for IAD, but its accuracy can be compromised by artifacts that lead to misinterpretation.
- *In a case involving a 55-year-old man undergoing surgery, TEE suggested IAD based on the presence of an intimal dissection flap, but this was not confirmed by computed tomographic angiography, highlighting the diagnostic challenges in complex surgical situations.

Objective: Carbon dioxide (CO) angiography has emerged as a viable alternative to regular iodinated contrast medium (ICM) for guiding endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedures. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a standardised EVAR procedure using only CO angiography.
Methods: A prospective, multicentre, national study enrolled consecutive patients between January 2023 and January 2024 with asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms measuring ≥ 55 mm and for whom standard endovascular graft (instructions for use) was anatomically feasible.

In this Neuro-Interventional Video, we demonstrate a novel Augmented Reality (AR) platform for visualising vascular imaging data during interventional procedures. The platform allows clinicians to interact with 3D patient data through head-mounted displays while remaining sterile. Our workflow converts rotational angiography data to 3D models in real-time, and enables intuitive hand-tracked manipulation of patient data, including tools for cropping, size measurement, and C-arm projection assessment.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate outcomes after endovascular aortic arch repair in patients with a mechanical aortic valve where the valve needs to be crossed.
Methods: An international, multicentre, retrospective observational study was undertaken including all consecutive patients who underwent endovascular arch repair with mechanical aortic valve crossing.
Results: From March 2020 to August 2023, 12 patients were included in the study (median age 55 years, interquartile range 45, 67 years; 58% male).
Fluorescence-guided laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using indocyanine green angiography to prevent iatrogenic vascular injury: A case report and video.

Introduction: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide, associated with a roughly 10 % rate of complications, most commonly iatrogenic injury to blood vessels, sometimes necessitating conversion to open surgery. Fluorescence-guided laparoscopic surgery using indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) facilitates the precise identification of numerous anatomical structures, especially vascular, reducing their risk of iatrogenic injury. We present the first published case and video demonstrating LIHR with ICG-FA to prevent intra-operative vascular injury.
