26.3 Indocyanine Green Angiography
26.3.1 Technology
26.3.1.1 Properties ofIndocyanine
Green
Indocyanine green (ICG) has a molecular weight of
774.96 Daltons and is an anionic tricarbocyanine
dye [15]. To avoid recrystallization, the nished product contains 5–9.5% sodium iodide [16]. Near­infrared light is absorbed by ICG.The maximum absorption occurs at 790 nm, and the maximum emission occurs at 835nm (Fig.26.8) [17]. These optical characteristics enable ICG imaging through melanin, macular pigment, and blood. ICG is mostly attached to plasma proteins, especially to globulins like A1-lipoproteins. The liver metabo­lizes the dye actively and depends on hepatocellu­lar function and liver blood ow. ICG is excreted into the bile [3]. The kidneys, lungs, and placenta do not show dye uptake [20]. The amount of dye that leaks out of the fenestrations in the choroidal arteries is low due to the high molecular weight of ICG and because the dye usually remains bound to plasma proteins. These properties make ICG ideal for studying the choroidal vascular network.
26.3.1.2 Toxicity
ICG is a well-tolerated and safe dye. Furthermore, subcutaneous extravasation of the dye has no significant local effects [18,
21]. The incidence of side effects is usually
low, ranging from 0.15% for mild events (such as nausea, vomiting, sneezing, and itching) to
0.2% for moderate events (such as urticaria, syncope, pyrexia, and nerve palsy) to 0.05% for severe events (such as bronchospasm, laryngospasm, and anaphylaxis) [7, 21]. Although the dye has no obvious association with iodide or shellfish sensitivity, a dose­dependent pseudoallergic mechanism may occur in some people allergic to iodine and shellfish [16]. However, due to concerns about potential anaphylaxis, the dye should not be administered to patients with a history of con­firmed iodine allergy [21]. Since the incidence of adverse events is 9.3% in dialysis patients, caution is necessary; in patients with kidney comorbidities [16] and liver diseases [19]. ICG is a pregnancy category C drug per the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classification, which means that optimal safety studies for the dye on pregnant women have not been carried out [20].

26.3.1.3 Instrument
White light with excitation and barrier lters (640–780 nm and 820–900 nm, respectively) serves as the light source for digital cameras. In a cSLO system, a laser monochromatic light is uti­lized for excitation (785–790nm), and the barrier lter is set at 805nm.
A 5mL saline ush should follow the rapid injec­tion of intravenous ICG.Infracyanine green, the iodine-free version of ICG, is available for peo­ple with iodine allergies. The injection technique is identical, but a glucose-based solvent is required to prepare the bolus. Thus, combined FA and infracyanine green angiography may not be feasible [7].

26.3.2.1 Injection Technique
ICG (25mg) is dissolved in 5mL of solvent (for ash-based fundus cameras) or 3mL (for cSLOs cameras). For combined FA and ICG angiogra­phy, the solvent can be saline or a Sodium uo­rescein solution at 10, 20, or 25% concentrations.

Hyperuorescence in ICGA: Generally, there are two patterns of hyperuorescence in ICGA: hot spot and plaque.
A Hotspot (Fig.26.10a) is an area of abnor- mal intense hyperuorescence of more than 1-disc diameter seen during the mid to late phases of ICGA.It is usually seen in retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) and polypoidal chorial vas­culopathy (PCV).
A Plaque (Fig.26.10b) is an area of abnormal intense hyperuorescence of more than 1-disc diameter in size seen during the mid to late phases of ICGA.It is seen in occult macular neovascu­larization (MNV) and central serous chorioreti­nopathy (CSC).
26.3.3 Clinical Application
andInterpretation ofIndocyanine Green Angiography
26.3.3.1 Age-Related Macular
Degeneration (AMD)
This section will use the “Consensus on Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Nomenclature (CONAN)” study group- recommended new consensus nomencla­ture [23]. According to the Macular
Photocoagulation Study, type 1 MNV tends to correlate with “occult” CNV on FA, and type 2 MNV is typically seen to correspond with “classic” CNV [24].
Type 1 MNV.A dynamic ICGA can identify the neovascular network (Fig.26.11) in bro­vascular PED (pigment epithelial detachment) type of occult MNV, feeder vessels, and distin­guish between a type 1 MNV and a type 3 MNV [5, 7, 26].
Type 2 MNV. ICGA shows a discrete hyper­uorescent neovascular network in the early phase and a dark rim at the MNV boundary that correlates to a hyperreective ring on near­infrared reectance imaging [27].
Type 3 MNV.ICGA demonstrates the vascu­larity of the brovascular PED or late leakage of an undetermined source (LLUS). When the PED is present, type 3 MNV is typically seen within the PED area rather than at the margin. These lesions also exhibit increasing leakage in the late stage; this is not seen in the other MNV lesions. Dynamic ICGA can capture the progressive ll­ing of the lesion, enabling the location of very small type 3 MNV lesions of recent onset [25,
27]. The diagnosis of type 3 MNV has been typi-
cally based on the temporal evidence of the dye lling into at least one retinal arteriole that descends into the deep retinal space to a vascular

vascular networks (BNNs), a form of aberrant vascular networks (AVNs), can be detected in the rst 30s, especially in the feeder vessels. In
26.3.3.2 Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV) or Aneurysmal Type 1 MNV
Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) or aneurysmal type 1 MNV can be identied and characterized with improved sensitivity and specicity using ICGA [15]. In the initial stages of the ICGA, the various morphological traits of the vascular lesion are apparent. Branched neo-
the rst minute, interconnecting channels, a type of AVN, can be detected, which show a lack of feeder vessels. Early hyperuorescence originat­ing from the choroid (observed in the rst 6min) can be used to identify polypoidal lesions (Fig.26.12). Additional features include pulsa­tile lling of the polypoidal lesion (seen on dynamic ICGA) and a hypouorescent halo sur­rounding the hyperuorescent nodule. After

10 min of ICG dye injection, late geographic hyperuorescence (LGH) is visible as a hyper­uorescent, well-delineated lesion with a rosette pattern [28]. After 20min of ICG dye injection, i.e., in the late phase, dye washout is seen from these bulging dilated lesions [7].
26.3.3.3 Pachychoroid Disease Spectrum
In ICG, pachychoroid spectrum disease is char­acterized by dilated submacular vessels (pachyvessels). The pachyvessels are dilated and relatively straight choroidal vessels without attenuation. This contrasts with normal choroidal vessels that typically taper in caliber as they approach the macula. Central serous chorioreti­nopathy (CSC) is one of the pachychoroid dis­eases. In the mid to late phases of ICGA, CSC shows multiple areas of choroidal hyperperme­ability (Fig.26.13) [29]. The localized RPE leak evident on FA may have an underlying region of
images. (f) Late phase ICGA: empty choroidal and retinal vessels are seen, and polypoidal hyperuorescence is seen to be reduced. (Image courtesy: Hardik Kiri, MD)
choroidal hyperpermeability. In conditions caused by severe and chronic CSC, areas of cho­roidal hyperpermeability often persist and help differentiate CSC from AMD in elderly people with signs of type 1 MNV detected by OCT (optical coherence tomography). The management of CSC relies on identifying choroi­dal hyperpermeability on ICGA, as the vertepor­n photodynamic therapy (PDT) is targeted to these regions [7].
Numerous serous PED, choroidal lling defects, focal or punctate hyperuorescent areas that may indicate choroidal ischemia, punctate hyperuorescent spots, delays in the arterial ll­ing of the choroidal arteries and choriocapillaris, and venous congestion are other ICGA ndings in the pachychoroid disease spectrum [21].
Pachychoroid neovascularization exhibits type 1 MNV without aneurysmal dilations (pol­ypoidal lesions). In eyes with pachychoroid neo­vascularization, type 1 MNV uorescence may

dye. A late “washout” phenomenon is seen as the dye fades out, and the tumor appears hypouorescent with a hyperuorescent rim (Fig. 26.14). This washout pattern occurs due to the tumor’s high ow and low­resistance properties, leading to the rapid outow of dye and tumor emptying earlier
26.3.3.4 Choroidal Tumors
FA and ICGA are used to evaluate tumor size, location, and proximity to surrounding anatomi­cal structures and to establish a baseline for assessing treatment response and adverse effects. It is a useful tool for identifying the nature of choroidal tumors [7].
(a) Choroidal hemangioma: FA for choroidal
hemangioma is barely useful as it appears normal if the lesions do not have exudative complications. The ICGA ndings of choroi­dal hemangioma are distinct and pathogno­monic; a lobular, uniform, and well-dened pattern of hyperuorescence is seen soon after dye administration. Intrinsic vascular patterns in the tumor are visible within 30s of dye injection, and by 1 min, choroidal hemangiomas appear well-dened and hyperuorescent as they ll completely with
than the surrounding choroidal tissue [30,
31].
(b) Choroidal melanoma: When outer retinal
atrophy is present, along with the lling of the choroidal capillaries, an irregular hyperuorescence in the tumor may be seen in the early transit phase of FA [5]. In the late phases, varying amounts of leakage can be seen. Clumps of orange pigment appear hypouorescent. The near-infrared light used in ICGA offers better penetration of the pig­mented layers of the fundus than the short­wavelength light used for FA. Therefore, ICGA reveals the intrinsic microvascular structures of the tumor, which are seen as hyperuorescent vessels on a hypouores­cent background (Fig.26.15) [7].
(c) Choroidal metastases: In the early stages,
blocking of the background uorescence is seen on FA with mottled hyperuorescence

due to the RPE defects. Irregular areas of hyperuorescence are seen in the late phases of FA corresponding with the tumor, a vari­able amount of hyperuorescent leakage, and pooling in the subretinal space. Choroidal metastases can be seen with ICGA as clearly dened patches of hypouorescence without any intrinsic microvascular networks. Hypouorescence is typically noted through­out all the phases of the ICGA, with progres­sive attenuation in the late stages that lead to a giraffe or leopard skin pattern [32].
26.3.3.5 Varix oftheVortex Vein Ampulla
A varix of the vortex vein ampulla is an excep­tionally large dilation of the vortex vein seen as a single, smooth, red-brown elevation [33]. ICG angiography exhibits the typical early and con­sistent uorescence with uniform lling [34].

26.3.3.6 Choroidal Inammation
(a) Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome
(MEWDS): At the posterior pole and periph­eral retina, ICGA reveals a pattern of many hypouorescent regions with a distinctive lobulated form. These spots are larger on ICGA images than on fundus examination and FA [15], become detectable in the mid-to late phases, and range in size from 50 to 1000 μm. Additionally, hypouorescence can be seen in the peripapillary region [35]. The hypouorescent patches in the ICGA vanish over time when the inammation sub­sides [7].
(b) Multifocal choroiditis: Active lesions are vis-
ible as uniform hypouorescent patches on ICGA [36]. These lesions could disappear or, more often, turn into chorioretinal scarring. After successful therapy, the hypouorescent patches are smaller and fewer in number. On

ICGA, the scars appear more hypouores­cent than the surrounding tissue, and a win­dow defect enables one to see the massive choroidal vessels [7].
(c) Birdshot chorioretinopathy: On ICGA, these
lesions appear as round or oval hypouores­cent spots of similar size dispersed across the fundus, predominantly in the nasal quadrant, followed by dye leakage in the late phases, making the choroidal vessels appear hazy [37]. ICGA angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring the activity of birdshot lesions as this method allows these lesions to be better visualized than on FA.In the chronic phase of the disease, the hypo­uorescent spots corresponding to chorio­retinal scars are evident in the late stages of the angiography [7, 15].

(d) Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment
epitheliopathy (APMPPE). In the early stages of ICGA, APMPPE lesions appear as numerous placoid/ameboid hypouorescent patches larger than those observed clinically or with FA. The lesions are progressively more prominent and darker than the sur­rounding unaffected areas in the late stages of ICGA. Some of these lesions are gone after therapy and become barely detectable during clinical examinations and with ICGA.Other lesions may turn into scars with the loss of RPE, the choriocapillaris, and the outer retinal layer [7]. On ICGA, these inac­tive lesions generally exhibit a window defect. ICGA is also helpful in monitoring the course of the disease and response to treatment [38].
