Correlation of choriocapillaris hemodynamic data from dynamic indocyanine green and optical coherence tomography angiography

To investigate the correlation between posterior pole choroidal blood flow evaluated with digital subtraction indocyanine green angiography and enface optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Imaging in animal study. The anatomy of 2 cynomogulus monkeys was studied. Each monkey was given a 0.75 mg/kg injection of indocyanine green in the saphenous vein. The dynamic angiographic filling sequence was recorded at 15 frames per second using the Heidelberg Spectralis. After image registration, sequential frame subtraction was used to image the dye front moving through the choroid. The OCTA was obtained by frame averaging nine separate choriocapillaris slab flow images obtained from the Zeiss Plex Elite 9000. Posterior pole choriocapillaris filling pattern in relation to the choriocapillaris anatomy as imaged by OCTA. In the posterior pole, the choriocapillaris fills in the pattern of discrete units with variable sizes and shapes. The cycle of dye filling begins in the peripapillary area and progresses toward the periphery in a wavelike manner. This filling pattern repeats in a cyclical manner, consistent with the cardiac cycle. OCTA shows a uniform mesh of vessels. While OCTA shows a uniform meshwork appearance of the choriocapillaris, the dynamic dye angiography suggests an irregular configuration of functional units partitioned by pressure gradients as opposed to structural boundaries. Disturbance of local perfusion pressure within choroidal vasculature may result in abnormal flow patterns, which could be evaluated in the clinic using commercially available equipment.
