Abstract
BACKGROUND Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography, a validated noninvasive imaging technique, is used to assess tissue vascularization. Here, we report three infant patients who underwent intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography and suffered from postoperative complications caused by the lack of weak fluorescent intestinal resection and assessed residual intestinal perfusion. CASE PRESENTATION We observed the clinical characteristics and operative findings of patients treated from January 2022 to December 2022. Indocyanine green (0.5 mg/kg) was intravenously injected. The first patient was a 29-day-old girl with surgical necrotizing enterocolitis who underwent intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography at the first- and second-look operations. The proximal jejunum was difficult to diagnose to detect blood flow during the second-look operation. The second patient was a 32-day-old boy with surgical necrotizing enterocolitis. A part of the antimesenteric mucosa of the patient that exhibited weak fluorescence was preserved; however, it formed postoperative hematomas. The third patient was a 30-day-old boy with midgut volvulus. Weak fluorescence in the intestinal wall was observed 5 cm of the small intestine from the ileocecal valve was preserved, but it formed a stricture, and the patient underwent ileocecal resection after 30 days. CONCLUSIONS Weak fluorescence in the intestine in infants by performing indocyanine green fluorescence angiography is associated with a high risk of non-recovering ischemic lesions and postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare locally aggressive vascular neoplasm that occurs mainly in the pediatric population. KHE usually originates just underneath the skin and affects deeper tissues through infiltrative growth; however, visceral tissue involvement is quite rare. CASE PRESENTATION An 8-month-old girl with jaundice and acholic stool was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of a hepatoduodenal ligament tumor. A blood examination revealed high bilirubin and liver enzyme levels, but no signs of coagulopathy. The first attempt at a diagnostic surgical procedure did not provide sufficient diagnostic information. However, the histopathological diagnosis of the cystic duct excised in the second surgery indicated KHE. Therefore, in our case, KHE was considered a cause of obstructive jaundice. Sirolimus (rapamycin) was initiated, and the patient was discharged 7 months after admission. CONCLUSIONS In cases of atypical hypervascular lesions in the abdominal cavity, especially in the pediatric population, it is important to consider the possibility of KHE, and surgical intervention with proper strategies is required for diagnosis, followed sequentially by promising treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal timing of surgery for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is controversial. We aimed to validate our protocol for the timing of CDH repair using the quantified patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) flow pattern. METHODS This retrospective comparative study analyzed patients with a prenatal diagnosis of isolated CDH between 2007 and 2020. We defined the "LR ratio" as the percentage of velocity-time integral (VTI) of the left-to-right flow of PDA against overall VTI on echocardiography. Since 2010, we followed the decision criterion of performing surgery when LR ratio of > 50% has been achieved in the patients (protocol group). The protocol group (2010-2020) was compared with the historical control group (2007-2009). RESULTS The average age at surgery was 104.1 ± 175.9 and 37.3 ± 30.6 h in the control and protocol groups, respectively (p = 0.11). Survival rate (88.9% vs. 95.0%, p = 0.53) and the rate of worsening of pulmonary hypertension within 24 h after surgery (22.2% vs. 10.0%, p = 0.57) were not different between the groups. The protocol group had a significantly shorter duration of tracheal intubation (26.9 ± 21.1 vs. 13.3 ± 9.5 days, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Our decision criterion might have the advantage of facilitating early and safe surgery for patients with CDH.
