Abstract
Free flap flow failure can be either that of an artery and/or vein(s). One approach is to ascertain precisely which vessel(s) is compromised, then figure out whether the problem is on the patient's side or the flap side or at the anastomosis itself. A well perfused patient can minimize a patientβside problem. An anastomotic problem can be revised with or without adding a graft. There is potential to avoid further anastomotic problems with the use of some form of anticoagulant. Problems on the flap side, if limited, can be dealt with by resection or repair. Anticoagulants may be of value. Occasionally, another free flap is needed. Β© 1993 WileyβLiss Inc.

PULMONARY lobectomy is now firmly established as a curative operation in certain cases of bronchiectasis, yet despite the advances in technique and anasthesia that have been made during recent years, it is still an operation which carries a mortality of from 10 to 20 per cent. It is true that this f
Ligation of portosystemic shunts in patients with cirrhosis undergoing liver transplantation has been recommended to avoid insufficient portal vein (PV) flow. Shunts are not always recognized pretransplantation because intraoperative PV flow assessment is not routinely attempted. As a result of a po
