Descripción: Coronary Artery Bypass grafts are the first step during Cardiac surgery. This video demonstrates every step leading up to the surgery and how ICG is used to help to detect any unexpected complications within the first minute and a half of surgery. Once these complications are rectified the patient shows improved outcomes and their hospital costs are lowered a shortened recovery time.

Abstract
Background
Anastomotic leakage in esophagectomy is a serious complication, and assessing blood perfusion in the conduit can help minimize this risk. Indocyanine green is the most widely used method to assess tissue blood flow; however, this technique has disadvantages. Evaluating tissue oxygen saturation in the gastric conduit during thoracic esophagectomy compared with indocyanine green blood perfusion assessment addresses these disadvantages and can be performed easily and repeatedly.
Methods
This was a prospective study of patients with esophageal cancer...
