| Popis: | The rectus femoris pedicled muscle flap is a widely used option for coverage of infected vascular grafts in groin reconstruction as well as in reconstruction of abdominal wall defects. Here we present the case of primary placement of a pedicled rectus femoris flap to provide well-vascularized tissue interposed between an aortic Dacron interposition graft and bowel. This previously undescribed use of the rectus femoris proves to be an indispensable method when the more common alternatives, such as omental and rectus abdominis flaps, are not available. Keywords: Rectus femoris flap, Aortic graft, Pedicled muscle flap |
