Abstract

TEJERINA BOTELLA, C. et al. Preoperative planning of receiver vessels in breast reconstruction with DIEP flap. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2011, vol.37, n.3, pp.233-238. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922011000300004.

An accurate preoperative vascular evaluation of microsurgical flaps is essential for a good procedure. In DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator flap), in breast reconstruction, have been described different preoperative techniques to study the anatomy of the deep inferior epigastric perforators. We think that preoperative planning of the receiver vessels, (internal mammary artery and vein, in most of cases) is very important too. These vessels have anatomic changes in some patients. To know the exact location, permeability, and calibre of these vessels will help us to have a more easy and quick operation.
