Preoperative Angio-CT Preliminary Study of the TRAM Flap After Selective Vascular Delay

Abstract

Preoperative planning of pTRAM flap with MDCTA allows surgeons to visualize and locate the dominant perforators and to select the best DSEA. Consequently, the choice between the homolateral or contralateral rectus muscle is facilitated. The high sensitivity and specificity and the ease of interpreting data have made MDCTA a highly promising diagnostic tool for planning a pTRAM flap.
