Objective:
To summarize the application progress of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography in breast reconstruction.
Methods:
The literature about the application of ICG angiography in breast reconstruction was reviewed and analyzed, including its history, chemical composition, principles, usages, and attentions.
Results:
ICG is a kind of fluorescent substance used in medical diagnosis and various surgical fields, especially in intraoperative vascular angiography. ICG angiography and SPY system are gradually applied in breast reconstruction, including both prosthesis/tissue expander reconstruction and autologous reconstruction. Compared to clinical judgment, portable Doppler devices, tissue oximetry, and fluorescein angiography, ICG angiography obviously has more benefits and usages.
Conclusion:
ICG angiography can reveal the perfusion of flaps during the operation instantly and accurately, which refines the intraoperative strategy in order to decrease the incidence of flap-related complications. Besides, it has some economic benefits to some extent.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
