Optimal Dosing of IC-Green for Visualization of Rotator Cuff Vascularity Using Advanced Imaging Modality Arthroscopy
Sponsor: NYU Langone Health
Summary
Rotator cuff re-tear is a common delayed complication of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. This process of re-tear is multifactorial and there has not been any readily identifiable perioperative measure that is predictive of subsequent rotator cuff failure. There have been no human studies looking at intraoperative assessment of rotator cuff vascularity, nor the predictive value that vascularity may have for rotator cuff re-tear. Indocyanine Green (ICG) has been safely used in patients for visualization purposes and has real potential for identifying vascularity in arthroscopic surgical patients. The aim of this study is to establish a standard dosing protocol for ICG in the arthroscopic visualization of rotator cuff vascularity.

Indocyanine Green
ICG is an injectable fluorescent pigment that binds to proteins in the blood and allows surgery teams to view blood vessels with greater precision. The ICG will not affect the course of the operative or postoperative period, and will be injected intravenously prior to the actual repair
