Abstract

The use of microvascular procedures is increasing as the population continues to age. The purpose of this study was to observe the survival of skin flaps after ischemic injury. Skin flaps (n = 50) underwent either 3 hours of primary (1Β°) or secondary (2Β°) venous occlusion in young (2–3 mo) and old (18–22 mo) rats. Skin flap survival was assessed on postoperative day 7. Survival rates for young and old after 3 hours of 1Β° ischemia was 100% and 90% (ns). Survival rats for young and old after 2Β° ischemia were 67% and 47% (ns). Β© 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract The rat epigastric island flap model is commonly used to explore ischemia‐related phenomena. We sought to evaluate strain differences in tolerance to ischemia using two commonly used rat strains: Sprague‐Dawley and Lewis. Epigastric flaps (3 Γ— 6 cm) based on the superficial epigastric a

Nitric oxide (NO) under basal conditions is an important regulator of vascular tone. Under ischemic conditions, however, NO can combine with superoxide anion to produce the damaging hydroxyl free radical.

## Abstract Extended groin flaps in rats were used to explore the relationship of time and temperature of ischemic storage to the ultimate survival of free flaps. The maximum period of ischemia with 100% survival was found to be six hours for storage at a normothermic range (20‐ 25‐ C) and 48 hours
