Abstract
Transient stoppage of erythrocytes through different vascular beds has important implications for local tissue metabolism. By combining adaptive optics retinal imaging with erythrocyte-mediated angiography (AO-EMA), erythrocyte stasis events can be readily observed in the microvasculature of living human eyes. Localization of erythrocyte stasis using EMA alongside AO-based indocyanine green (ICG) angiography illustrate the notion that there is a previously uncharacterized population of erythrocytes in stasis residing in the smallest choroidal vessels. These observations are an important step towards elucidating the hemodynamic properties of the choroidal microcirculation and demonstrate a novel application of ICG imaging.
