Fluorescence angiography was first used by ophthalmologists to measure retinal blood flow by using the fluorescent dye fluorescein. With the use of indocyanine green (ICG) as a novel fluorescent dye, and its integration into a compact system that takes advantage of modern video technology, fluorescence angiography has recently re-emerged as a viable option. We present representative cases of which ICG videoangiography is useful in the treatment to show the efficacy of ICG videoangiography in cerebrovascular surgery. ICG videoangiography is a safe and simple method with which to assess the microcirculation of the brain.
