Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is useful for determining the appropriate extent of bowel resection in rare cases of colon necrosis caused by cholesterol crystal embolism following cardiac catheterization.
ICG may delineate resection margins in rare cholesterol embolism colitis; leaves open prospective validation before adoption.

Ito et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Colon necrosis due to cholesterol crystal embolism (n=1). Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) guided extended right hemicolectomy was evaluated. Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) successfully guided the extent of bowel resection in a 55-year-old man with rare colon necrosis due to cholesterol crystal embolism, allowing for survival and discharge.
