Indocyanine green angiography predicts postoperative volume changes in deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap breast reconstruction
Higher intraoperative ICG flow inset ratios predict improved long-term volume preservation in DIEP flap breast reconstruction. Targeting a ratio above 1.325 and careful flap design may support better symmetry, particularly in patients undergoing radiotherapy.Clinical relevance statement: ICG angiography can guide intraoperative decision-making to optimize postoperative volume outcomes in breast reconstruction.
