| Popis: |
Summary: The report herein describes the use of a venocutaneous fistula with angiocatheter attachment and near-infrared spectroscopy device to correct venous congestion of a vertical upper gracilis free flap used for breast reconstruction. This method of mechanical leeching was precisely controlled through monitoring trends in the tissue oxygen saturation levels of the flap, allowing venous congestion to be relieved before it became clinically apparent. |
