Abstract
Using the abdominal skin flap of rats, the arterial inflow through the venous system was shown to nourish the distal part of a flap and to work as a pedicle of an island flap and a free flap. The position of the arteriovenous anastomosis and the draining vein seems important. Delay may produce arterial inflow as a consequence.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
