Abstract: Thin Patients are at Higher Risk for Venous Congestion During DIEP Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
reconstruction were identified. Immediate reconstructions were performed prior to PMRT, and delayed reconstructions were performed after PMRT. Postoperative complications at one and two years after reconstruction were assessed. Patient reported outcomes were evaluated using the BREAST-Q questionnaire preoperatively, at one and two-years postoperatively. Univariate and mixed effects logistic regression analyses were performed to assess relationships among demographic, clinical variables, and outcomes of interest.

Anatomical features associated with venous congestion in DIEP flap using CT angiography with three-dimensional reconstruction
Aim: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) using three-dimensional (3D) virtual reconstruction has been increasingly used in planning deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) breast reconstruction. Although the most common complication associated with this surgery is diffuse venous congestion, its origin remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the anatomical characteristic...
متن کاملBreast reconstruction with the DIEP flap or the muscle-sparing (MS-2) free TRAM flap: is there a difference?
The advantages of breast reconstruction using the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap and the muscle-sparing free transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap (MS-2) are well recognized. Both techniques optimize abdominal function by maintaining the vascularity, innervation, and continuity of the rectus abdominis muscle. The purpose of this study was to compare these two...
متن کاملSalvage of Intraoperative Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Venous Congestion with Augmentation of Venous Outflow: Flap Morbidity and Review of the Literature
BACKGROUND Breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps has gained considerable popularity due to reduced donor-site morbidity. Previous studies have identified the superficial venous system as the dominant outflow to DIEP flaps. DIEP flap venous congestion occurs if superficial venous outflow via the deep venous system is insufficient for effective flap drainage....

Autologous breast reconstruction using the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap has become increasingly popular because of its unique advantages. However, compared with some other forms of abdominal-based autologous reconstruction, DIEP flaps are associated with an increased risk of venous congestion. Many techniques-or lifeboats-have been introduced to diagnose and treat this...
متن کاملPerforator Flaps for Reconstruction of Lower Limb Defects
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the lower third of the leg remains challenging. Anatomical constraints limit the local options available for complex defects especially lower third of leg. Local flaps based on perforator vessels are raising interest in reconstructive surgery of the limbs. We present our experience with perforator flaps for reconstruction of soft tissue def...
