ICG Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: patients requiring a shoulder arthroplastyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will be administered Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Indocyanine green (ICG) through intravenous injection and imaged by a FDA approved surgical fluorescence imaging device. Both ICG fluorescence and the imaging system have been used for routine clinical practice for many years. ICG fluorescence imaging utilizes intravenously injected ICG, which is a fluorescent dye that is FDA approved for clinical use, illuminated with near-infrared light. The ICG dye is indirectly activated and the dynamic fluorescence due to meniscal perfusion can be captured by an FDA approved imaging system.
