Abstract
We report a clinical case of using indocyanine green inhalation to achieve intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence visualization of pulmonary ground-glass opacity in thoracoscopic wedge resection. The patient underwent thoracoscopic wedge resection under the real-time navigation of a near-infrared fluorescence imaging system with the indocyanine green inhalation performed 85 minutes before the surgery. The nebulized inhalation of indocyanine green (dose of 0.25 mg/kg) successfully guided surgeons to localize the small ground-glass opacity due to a filling defect of the fluorescence. The thoracoscopic near-infrared fluorescence navigation system delineated the tumor margin with high contrast and helped to minimize the damage to lung function.
