ICG tissue angiography is feasible and technically reliable for evaluating intestinal perfusion in acute mesenteric ischemia and led to a significant clinical benefit in 11% of our patients. A relevant discrepancy between surgical visual assessment and fluorescence angiography was found in 35% of the cases, which may help to define resection margins more accurately and thus support surgical decision-making.
