Introduction: The superiority of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) to the clinical eye alone to assess tissue perfusion has been demonstrated in various surgical fields. This short report demonstrates the use of ICG-FA to assess skin perfusion before ligating the external iliac artery (EIA) to exclude a common femoral artery (CFA) aneurysm.
Report: A 70-year-old man presented with a CFA aneurysm after a previous transfemoral amputation. Ligation of the EIA was proposed, but concerns about tissue perfusion warranted a careful approach. The CFA was exposed using an infra-inguinal incision. Intra-operative ICG inflow and washout patterns were semi-quantitatively analysed to assess dermal perfusion of the femoral stump before and after EIA clamping. Based on similar patterns, distal EIA ligation was performed without ischaemic complications.
Conclusion: Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography is a promising technique for assessment of tissue perfusion in peripheral arterial disease, but standardised protocols for perfusion quantification are required to more accurately predict tissue viability.

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) sensitises the MRI signal to spin motion. This includes Brownian diffusion, but also flow across intricate networks of capillaries. This effect, the intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM), enables microvasculature characterisation with dMRI, through metrics such as the vascular signal fraction f or the vascular Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) D.

Topically applied therapies must not only be effective at the molecular level but also efficiently access the target site which can be on milli/centimetre-scales. This bottleneck is particularly inhibitory for peptide and nucleic acid macromolecule drug delivery strategies, especially when aiming to target wounded, infected, and poorly perfused tissues of significant volume and geometry. Methods to drive fluid-flow or to enhance physical distribution of such formulations after local administration in accessible tissues (skin, eye, intestine) would be transformative in realizing the potential of such therapeutics.

The lack of sensibility of traditional ultrasound (US) imaging to the slow blood flow in small vessels resulted in the development of microbubble (MB) contrast agents. These MBs are given intravenously, and US imaging can detect them quite effectively. This noninvasive imaging method, known as contrast-enhanced US (CEUS), now makes it possible to accurately assess tissue perfusion and blood flow.

Lyme disease, the most widespread tick-borne disease in North America, is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb). Approximately 10-15% of infections result in neuroborreliosis, common symptoms of which include headaches, facial palsy, and long-term cognitive impairment. Previous studies of Bb dissemination focus on assessing Bb transmigration at static time points rather than analyzing the complex dynamic process of extravasation.

Background: Early recognition of peripheral tissue perfusion deficits can minimize secondary complications of peripheral arterial disease in individuals with diabetes.
Objectives: To compare parameters of peripheral tissue perfusion in the leg at rest and during and after progressive effort between non-diabetics and individuals with type 2 diabetes and normal ankle brachial index values, as well as to evaluate the factors associated with peripheral tissue perfusion in the leg in individuals with type 2 diabetes during progressive effort.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 31 individuals with type 2 diabetes and 31 non-diabetics.
