Duplex Ultrasound Imaging in Free Transverse Rectus Abdominis Muscle, Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator, and Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator Flaps

Abstract

The minimum perfusion requirement is easily satisfied in musculocutaneus and free perforator flaps. In the long term, DIEP flap perfusion increases 13%, which assumes that DIEP flap perfusion is maintained on the pedicle.
