Venous thrombosis of a free flap is a serious complication in microsurgery. Several agents with the ability to dissolve an occluding thrombus exist. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) seems the most effective. We present our experience with a procedure that was successful in eliminatio
The aim of this study was to apply the hypothesis of ischemic preconditioning (IP) on free skeletal muscle (rat thigh flap). Five groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 6) were used. In group A (control group), standard free autologous flap transfers were performed. Flaps in groups B and C underwent 4 a
## Abstract Individual techniques for the postoperative monitoring of free flaps vary considerably. In order to establish the currently preferred protocols, a survey was conducted among microβsurgeons in North America using a mailed questionnaire. Data were received from 95 centers for the monitori
## FREE FLAP MONITORING: A REVIEW OF CURRENT PRACTICE Despite their intuitive appeal, free flap monitoring technologies remain a largely unproven adjunct to microsurgical procedures. This paper is important in that it provides insight into the actual practice patterns of a large and diverse group
## Abstract Using electromagnetic flowmetry, the circulation through free flaps was studied in an experimental animal model. It was demonstrated that the total circulation of blood through a free flap is not affected by the establishment of an arterial throughβflow or endβflow model in the recipien
