Indocyanine green angiography: a perspective on use in the clinical setting.
American Journal of Ophthalmology 2011 May
PURPOSE: To review the history of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography and to present a personal perspective on its use in the clinical setting today.
DESIGN: Perspective with literature review and opinions based on personal experience.
METHODS: To acquire views from international retinal physicians experienced with the technique on uses in their facilities and to compare them to the author's personal standards.
RESULTS: The author and contributing retinal physicians had surprisingly similar views for most, but not all, applications for ICG angiography use in the clinical setting.
CONCLUSIONS: ICG angiography is recommended for a few highly selective chorioretinal disorders, including certain forms of neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration, other neovascular maculopathies, chronic central serous chorioretinopathy, choroidal hemangiomas, and posterior uveitis.
