STAB WOUND OF THE DEEP EPIGASTRIC ARTERY

Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery Flap Salvage Technique Using Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Graft

Superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap salvage remains challenging, particularly in cases of arterial insufficiency due to vessel spasm, pedicle kinking, or thrombosis. The already small, short SIEA pedicle, in addition to its inherent tendency toward spasm, renders the SIEA flap more difficult to manage when anastomotic revision is required. Furthermore, arterial thrombosis will ca...

Angiography and segmental artery embolization in renal stab wound.

An initial management of bed rest and hydration is performed routinely. In case of persistent bleeding, definite diagnosis is usually made by angiography, and selective embolization can be performed within the same angiography session as a definite treatment. Open exploration and partial or total nephrectomy are rarely required. We report a case of delayed renal bleeding following stab wound wh...

ANATOMY OF THE SUPERFICIAL INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY FLAP

 ABSTRACT Background: Several case studies have described the use of the superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap as a pedicled flap for reconstruction of upper and lower ex tremities, or a free fasciocutaneous flap when a large amount of skin coverage is required for hemifacial atrophy, breast or head and neck reconstruction. Apparently, the anatomical findings of previous studies ar...
