The authors of  the manuscript with title
Blood flow assessment of gastric tube with indocyanine green fluorescence angiography
and postoperative endoscopy during esophagectomy: Indocyanine green enhancement time
indicated congestion
analysed the blood flow in the gastric tube  during esophagectomy in correlation with the
endoscopic findings. The results showed a correlation between the ICG enhancement time and
the venous malperfusion.
This topic is of great importance because the rate of leakage is in some studies very high.
Especially after MIE.
The study is well performed and the results are of interest. But I have a little bit the problem
what are practical benefit to use this method.
First, please define the procedure if the cut-of f value is reached.
Second, discuss the problems if the so defined procedure  is used.
