Role of the perforating vein in vascular pedicle of free forearm flap

An innovation in the preparation of the vascular pedicle of the free radial forearm flap is presented. While the radial artery is commonly used as the arterial pedicle of the flap, either the cutaneous venous system or the radial comitant vein (deep venous system) is used as the venous pedicle. The perforating vein communicates between these two venous systems at the cubital fossa, and we confirmed its presence in all but one of more than 180 cases. When the vascular pedicle is dissected proximally to the perforating vein contained in the flap, the venous drainage of both the deep and cutaneous systems can be restored by anastomosis of only one vein: the cutanous or the radial comitant vein. On the other hand, the flap can be raised with the radial vessels (without the cutaneous vein) at the start of surgery, and a large caliber cutaneous vein, such as the median cubital, the cephalic, or the basilic, can be used for anastomosis in cases where the cutaneous veins in the distal forearm are too thin, or where the radial comitant vein is composed of two thin separated veins. We believe that preserving the perforating vein would make the forearm flap more reliable and more convenient in reconstructive surgery. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Free transfer of the radial forearm flap with preservation of the radial artery

One of the main disadvantages of the radial forearm flap is the sacrifice of a major artery. To overcome this drawback the authors describe a technique of free transfer of the flap with preservation of the radial artery. The flap is elevated as a distal row perforator-based fasciocutaneous flap with a very short segment of the radial artery included in the inverted-T-shaped arterial pedicle. The venous outflow of the flap is provided by the cephalic vein, with accompanying veins of the radial artery left behind. Although the donor radial artery is repaired primarily, the flap is transferred to reconstruct a soft-tissue defect resulting from the release of a neck contracture after radiotherapy in a 42-year-old patient who had previous excision of a mandibular osteosarcoma. The arterial anastomosis was performed end to end between the superior thyroid artery and one limb of the arterial pedicle, with the other limb ligated. The venous anastomosis was performed end to end between the cephalic vein and the external jugular vein. The flap survived completely and a satisfactory result was obtained. The radial artery is demonstrated to be patent long after surgery, both with Allen's test and with a Doppler examination. Considering the possible sequelae of the sacrifice of the radial artery, this technique is obviously advantageous to such patients, even with a nonsatisfactory preoperative Allen's test. This perforator-based radial forearm flap is very easy to raise and to transfer, with anastomoses of large-diameter vessels.     

Vaginal reconstruction with the femoral veno-neuroaccompanying artery fasciocutaneous flap.

The arterial anatomy of the anteromedial thigh was investigated in ten fresh cadavers that had been systemically injected with a lead oxide-gelatin mixture. The arteries accompanying the great saphenous vein and the anterior cutaneous branches of the femoral nerve were found to have branches not only to the cutaneous vein and nerve, but also to the skin. On the basis of the anatomy of these accompanying arteries, a pedicled fasciocutaneous flap containing them was developed consisting of an adipofascial pedicle and a skin island. This flap has been named the femoral veno-neuroaccompanying artery fasciocutaneous flap (the femoral V-NAF flap, the great saphenous-femoral V-NAF flap) and has been applied in three cases of vaginal reconstruction.     

Can a true perforator flap survive on venous blood? A case report of anterolateral thigh true perforator flap supplied by antegrade venous inflow

In some cases of degloving injury, as a result of multiple venous anastomoses formed on the peripheral and proximal sides, the detached flap skin did survive, though with patchy necrosis. On the basis of this experience, the skin and soft-tissue defects after removing skin cancer were closed with an anterolateral thigh true perforator flap, measuring 4 × 5 cm in size, which is nourished by venous blood. The subcutaneous vein on the peripheral side of the defect was anastomosed to the perforator artery, and the veins on the proximal side of the defects were anastomosed to the concomitant veins of the perforator. After surgery, to ensure a sufficient blood flow to the flap, the affected limb was positioned lower than the heart for 1 week. To prevent microthrombus in the perforator branch and the flap, preventive anticoagulant therapy was performed. The transplanted flap had marked cyanosis for a few days, but turned pinkish on the sixth day after surgery. The flap survived completely. As opposed to venous flaps reported in the past, the physiologic direction of blood flow of the flap is from arteries to veins, and it is nourished exclusively by venous blood. If a flap is small, and there are no appropriate recipient vessels nearby, this method could serve as a favorable alternative.

Versatility of the sural fasciocutaneous flap in coverage defects of the lower limb

We present in this work, our experience with the sural fasciocutaneous flap to treat coverage defects following a lower limb posttraumatic lesion. This paper is a review of these flaps carried out in different centres between 2000 and 2005. The series consists of 14 patients, 12 men and 2 women with an average age of 38 years (23-54) and with a medium follow-up time of 2 years (12-48 months). In all of the cases, aetiology was a lower limb injury or its complications, most frequently a distal tibial fracture (eight patients), followed by sequelae from Achilles tendon reconstruction (two patients), fracture of the calcaneus (two patients) and osteomyelitis of the distal tibia secondary to an open fracture (two patients). Associated risk factors in the patients for performing the flap were diabetes (one case) and cigarette smoking (four cases). The technique is based on the use of a reverse-flow island sural flap with the superficial sural artery dependent on perforators of the peroneal arterial system. The anatomical structures which constitute the pedicle are the superficial and deep fascia, the sural nerve, short saphenous vein, superficial sural artery together with an islet of subcutaneous cellular tissue and skin. The flap was viable in 13 of 14 patients. Only one flap failed in, a diabetic patient. No patient showed signs of infection. Slight venous congestion of the flap occurred in two cases. No further surgical intervention of the donor site was required. In two cases partial necrosis of the skin edges occurred which resolved satisfactorily with conservative treatment. The sural fasciocutaneous flap is useful for the treatment of complex injuries of the lower limbs and their complications. Its technical advantages are: easy dissection with preservation of more important vascular structures in the limb, complete coverage of the soft tissue defect in just one operation without the need of microsurgical anastomosis. All this results in a well vascularised cutaneous islet and thus a reliable flap.

Recurrent varicose veins following high ligation of long saphenous vein: a duplex ultrasound study

Duplex scanning was used to study recurrent varicose veins in 244 limbs with previous high ligation of the long saphenous vein. The recurrent varicose veins were classified into two types according to the presence or absence of a residual long saphenous vein. Varicose veins with a residual long saphenous vein (type I) occurred in 168 limbs (68.9%). A residual long saphenous vein with an incompetent saphenofemoral junction was present in 125 limbs and one without any residual saphenofemoral junction in 43 limbs. Besides the presence of an incompetent long saphenous vein in this group, an incompetent short saphenous vein was detected in 26 limbs, incompetent perforating vein(s) in 45 limbs and incompetent deep veins in 26 limbs. Varicose veins without a residual long saphenous vein (type II) occurred in 76 limbs (31.1%). An incompetent short saphenous vein was demonstrated in 44 limbs, incompetent perforating vein(s) in 18 limbs and incompetent deep veins in 32 limbs. Of the total 244 limbs with recurrent varicose veins, long saphenous vein incompetence was involved in 168 (68.9%), short saphenous vein incompetence in 70 (28.7%), perforating vein incompetence in 63 (25.8%) and deep venous incompetence in 58 (23.8%). Although saphenofemoral junction incompetence was found to be the main source of recurrence, a segment of incompetent residual long saphenous vein, an incompetent short saphenous vein, perforating vein and deep venous system incompetence are other common sources of recurrence. A precise assessment to identify underlying venous incompetence is important for the management of recurrent varicose veins.

Venous reconstructions in lower limbs associated with resection of malignancies

BACKGROUND: Patients with tumors in the limbs who undergo surgical treatment may have involvement of major vessels. Major arteries are always reconstructed for limb salvage. Major veins may be reconstructed to avoid the onset of venous hypertension signs and symptoms. The objective of this study was to analyze the results from surgical treatment of a sample of patients who underwent lower limb venous reconstructions associated with the resection of malignant tumors. METHODS: Follow-up was performed of 17 patients with malignant tumors involving major vessels in the lower limbs. The median length of follow-up was 22 months. Venous reconstruction concomitant to arterial reconstruction was performed in 15 patients, and an isolated venous reconstruction was performed in 2 patients. The venous substitutes used were the contralateral long saphenous vein (n = 12), expanded polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis (n = 3), and Dacron prosthesis (n = 2). RESULTS: Vascular complications occurred in seven patients: three occlusions of the venous graft, edema in seven patients, and one rupture of the arterial graft. The primary 2- and 5-year patency rates of venous reconstructions were 79.3% and 79.3%, respectively. Nonvascular complications occurred in six patients: neurological deficit (n = 3), partial necrosis of the flap (n = 2), wound infection (n = 1), hematoma (n = 1), and enteric fistula (n = 1). Eight patients were still alive and disease free, although one of them underwent above-knee amputation as a result of local disease recurrence. One patient experienced regional disease recurrence and is undergoing chemotherapy. Eight patients died due to pulmonary metastases. The 2- and 5-year overall survival rates were 58.6% and 42.4%, respectively. The 2- and 5-year thrombosis-free survival rates were 51.9% and 35.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Lower limb venous reconstructions associated with tumor resection in this study gave good functional results, although the prognosis for these patients had been unfavorable. The saphenous vein is a suitable substitute.

Surgical Correction of Main Stem Reflux in the Superficial Venous System: Does It Improve the Blood Flow of Incompetent Perforating Veins?

Fifty-seven limbs (33 patients) with chronic venous ulceration were selected for this study. The criterion for selection was the presence of isolated superficial venous reflux. Long saphenous vein reflux alone was observed in 39 (68.4%) limbs, short saphenous vein reflux alone in 4 (7.0%) limbs, and both long and short saphenous vein reflux in 14 (24.6%) limbs. Surgical correction of the refluxing saphenous system has allowed 46 (80.7%) ulcers to heal. The healing rates for all the ulcerated legs that had long saphenous vein reflux, short saphenous vein reflux, or a combination of the two were 85.4%, 75.0%, and 66.7%, respectively. Incompetent perforating veins (IPVs) were observed in 51 (89.5%) limbs; 74.5% of them regained their competence postoperatively (189 preoperatively vs. 59 postoperatively; p < 0.001), with a significant reduction in their mean diameter (p < 0.001). IPVs remained in 13 (25.5%) limbs: 3 limbs with persistent reflux in the tributaries of the saphenous system, 1 limb with a fixed ankle joint, and nine limbs with no evidence of macrovascular venous disease. In patients with a competent deep venous system, reflux in perforating veins is often abolished after eradication of saphenous reflux.     

Free adductor perforator flap in lower leg reconstruction.

We report two cases using the free adductor perforator flap in the reconstruction of defects resulting from tumour ablations in the lower leg. One of the two flaps was nourished by a perforating artery, piercing the adductor magnus muscle and the descending branch of the inferior gluteal artery. The other was supplied merely by a perforating artery through the adductor magnus muscle. In both cases, the lesions were in the posterior side of the body on the lower leg, so we did not need to change the patient's position during the surgery. The surgery could be done in the same operating field. The donor site has minimal morbidity after the harvesting of the flap. The lengths of the perforating pedicles were 5cm. By including the posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh in the flap, the flap could be used as a sensory flap. The disadvantage of this flap is that the vessels of the pedicle are relatively small, especially, in comitantes veins.     

Utility of arteriovenous loops before free tissue transfer for post-traumatic leg defects

Crush injuries of severe magnitude involving lower limbs require complex bone and soft tissue reconstructions in the form of microvascular free tissue transfers. However, satisfactory recipient vessels are often unavailable in the leg due to their vulnerability to trauma and post traumatic vessel disease (PTVD), which extends well beyond the site of original injury. In such situations, healthy recipient vessels for free flap anastomosis can be made available by constructing temporary arteriovenous loops with saphenous vein grafts, anastomosed to corresponding free flap vessels. Our study included 7 patients with severe crush injuries of leg due to rail and road traffic accidents. Long and short saphenous vein grafts were anastomosed to Femoral artery in the subsartorial canal in 2 cases and to large muscular branches and accompanying veins in rest of the cases. Free flap transfers were performed in the same sitting in 6 cases. One case showed insufficient dilatation of the vein loop and hence free flap transfer was staged. Free Latissimus dorsi, Gracilis and Rectus abdominis flaps were performed. There were two cases of flap necrosis – one in the case of a pathologic vein graft with staged flap transfer which showed vein thrombosis on re exploration. The other case of flap failure was caused by a hematoma underneath the flap. In another patient, secondary haemorrhage occurred on day 18, without any consequence to the flap. All the other cases had complete free flap survival. We consider the use of single stage arteriovenous loops, a valuable tool to increase the applications of free flap, whenever healthy recipient vessels are not available in the periphery of the trauma.KEY WORDS: Arteriovenous loops, staged free flaps, vein grafts     

Creating two independent fasciocutaneous free flaps from a single radial forearm donor site

The authors describe the creation of two independent fasciocutaneous free flap units from a single radial forearm donor site. After the radial forearm flap is elevated in the standard manner, based on the entire length of the radial artery, the individual flap units are developed as island flaps based on the proximal and the distal radial artery respectively by transecting the radial artery, its accompanying veins, and the cephalic vein. Thus, two independent radial forearm free flaps are created from a single donor site: The proximal one has antegrade flow and the distal one has retrograde flow. The individual free flap units were transferred, and microvascular anastomoses were performed simultaneously by two surgical teams. This technique was used in 2 patients presenting with bilateral foot defects that required reconstruction with a thin, reliable flap such as the radial forearm flap.
