Our surgical team successfully used ICG fluorescence imaging to visualize an intramural LAD during a challenging robotic CABG. Intramural coronary arteries can pose significant difficulties in localization for optimal graft placement. Administering ICG and utilizing fluorescence imaging allowed clear real-time delineation of the entire intramural LAD course, providing critical information for precise surgical planning. The procedure was completed entirely robotically, avoiding conversion to a more invasive open approach. The patient experienced an uneventful recovery, highlighting the potential benefits of this technique. Our literature review suggests this application of ICG fluorescence for identifying intramural coronaries during robotic CABG is a promising new approach, with the potential to enhance precision, safety, and patient outcomes.
