We present our preliminary experience with intraoperative near-infrared indocyanine green–videoangiography (ICG–VA) and analysis of blood flow dynamics using fluorescence intensity assessment in cerebral aneurysm clipping surgery. Thirty-nine patients with 43 intracranial aneurysms underwent microsurgical clipping. Intraoperative ICG–VA was performed before and after clip application. An infrared fluorescence module integrated into a surgical microscope was used to visualize fluorescence in the surgical field and we recorded the emitted fluorescent light. An integrated analytical visualization tool simultaneously analyzed the video sequence and converted it into an intensity diagram, which allowed an objective evaluation of the results rather than the subjective assessment of…
