## Abstract __Background:__ Cutaneous perforators that do not originate from the deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) are rare, but may significantly affect operative outcome. Peritoneal‐cutaneous perforators have been described as a source for augmenting the blood flow to a deep inferior epigast
## Abstract Imaging of the abdominal wall vasculature prior to deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) perforator (DIEP) flaps has been shown to significantly improve surgical outcomes. Although computed tomography angiography (CTA) has been shown to be highly accurate, it is associated with radiati
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for preoperative mapping of rectus and gluteal muscle perforating arteries prior to autologous flap breast reconstruction. ## Materials and Methods Preoperative MRA on 25 consecutive patients undergoing perfo
