ICG-VA is useful for intraoperative identification of DI-AVFs and confirmation of complete microsurgical occlusion. Correlation between intraoperative ICG-VA and postoperative DSA findings demonstrates the diagnostic power of ICG-VA. This finding suggests that postoperative DSA is unnecessary when intraoperative ICG-VA confirms complete occlusion of the DI-AVF, which will spare patients the procedural risk and cost of this invasive procedure.
