The ability to predict the future viability of tissue, while still in the operating room and able to intervene, would have a major impact on patient outcome. Although several objective methods to evaluate tissue perfusion have been reported, none to date has sufficient accuracy. In eight Sprague-Dawley rats, reverse McFarlane dorsal skin flaps were created. Continuous near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence angiography using indocyanine green (ICG) was performed immediately after surgery, for a total of 30 min. These dynamic measurements were used to quantify ICG biodistribution and clearance, and to develop a simple metric that accurately predicted tissue viability at post-operative day (POD) 7. The new metric was compared to previously described metrics. Reproducible patterns of ICG biodistribution and clearance from the flap permitted quantitative metrics to be developed for predicting flap viability at POD 7. Previously described metrics, which set the boundary between healthy and necrotic tissue as either 17% or 25% of peak NIR fluorescence at 2 min post-ICG injection underestimated the area of necrosis by 75% and 48%, respectively. Our data suggest that both the shape and area of clinical necrosis occurring at POD 7 can be predicted intraoperatively, with the boundary defined as NIR fluorescence intensities of 40-55% of peak fluorescence measured at 5 min. Two 750 msec intraoperative NIR fluorescence images obtained at times 0 and 5 min post-injection of ICG accurately predicted skin flap viability 7 days after surgery.
