Abstract
The use of autogenous arterial grafts for long arterial defects in replantation or tissue transfer is recommended. Some grafts are taken from the superficial temporal artery, but the majority are taken from the subscapular arterial tree. The match which can be achieved to vessels in the hand, both proximally and distally, is far superior to that with reversed vein grafts.Keywords
