Study Summary

The current method of evaluating the surgical repair during surgery is limited to echocardiography (a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that uses ultrasound to study the structure and motions of the heart) or an invasive procedure called cardiac catheterization. The SPY imaging system makes use of the fluorescence properties of indocyanine green (ICG) to obtain high quality images in blood vessels. ICG is a green dye used to test heart output. The use of the SPY imaging system during surgery may provide valuable information regarding successful vessel connection and the area remaining unblocked. This study will compare the results of images to echocardiography and conventional angiography results. With SPY imaging, congenital heart surgeons would be able to check the quality of the procedure and revise, redo or perform additional procedures as dictated by the images before the patient leaves the operating room.
