quantitative analysis of the ICGA images. T inflow will be calculated based on time fluorescence curves, and correlated with anastomotic leakage and graft necrosis. This cutoff value will be an ICGA fluorescent intensity time measurement expressed in seconds.
First, intensity over time curves will be analysed in the regions of interest to generate quantitative values for maximal fluorescence intensity (I max), inflow time (T inflow), and outflow time (T outflow). For every patient a time intensity curve will be created and From that curve 3 quantitaive time measures will be extracted: for maximal fluorescence intensity (I max), inflow time (T inflow), and outflow time (T outflow). These 3 times will be expressed in seconds

All adverse events will be classified by the Clavien Dindo score and based on the ECCG international consensus for complications associated with esophagectomy guidelines.The list is a predefined by the ECCG and can be found in reference 32.
Anaphylactic adverse events (AE): discomfort, flushing, tachycardia, hypotension, dyspnoea, bronchial spasm, blushing, cardiac arrest, laryngeal spasm, and facial oedema. Urticarial AE: pruritus, urticaria Nausea. hypereosinophilia
duration of intensive care stay expressed in days
duration of the in hospital stay expressed in days
Advanced continuous hemodynamic monitoring during surgery will be performed using a PiCCO® (Pulse index Continuous Cardiac Output, Pulsion Medical Systems, Germany). This will provide specific perfusion measurements as cardiac output expressed in liters per minute from the Pulse contour analysis and Thermo dilution analysis.
Advanced continuous hemodynamic monitoring during surgery will be performed using a PiCCO® (Pulse index Continuous Cardiac Output, Pulsion Medical Systems, Germany). This will provide specific perfusion measurements as Stroke Volume (SV) expressed in milliliter and stroke volume variation (SVV) to predict Volume responsivity by Pulse contour analysis and Thermo dilution analysis.
Advanced continuous hemodynamic monitoring during surgery will be performed using a PiCCO® (Pulse index Continuous Cardiac Output, Pulsion Medical Systems, Germany). This will provide specific perfusion measurements as pulse pressure (PP) expressed in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) to predict volume responsivity by Pulse contour analysis.
Peroperative biopsies will be collected and analyzed. Four sections of the embedded material are examined using a Haematoxylin-eosin staining. A semiquantitive scoring based on presence of fibroblasts, polynuclear neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages will be used to evaluate the severity of the inflammation. Scoring system. Score 0 = normal mucosa Score 1: partial epithelial edema and necrosis Score 2: diffuse swelling and necrosis of the epithelium Score 3: necrosis with submucosal neutrophil infiltration Score 4: widespread necrosis and massive neutrophil infiltration and bleeding
