## Background: Early success of microvascular free tissue transfer is dependent upon the patency of the primary vascular pedicle. in time, neovascularization from the recipient bed and surrounding wound margins into the graft may be sufficient to maintain flap viability. the time necessary for succ

The inferior epigastric venous flap of the rat was chosen for experimental studies of vascular flow alterations. The long saphenous vein was not selected for use; preliminary studies involving forced retrograde injection demonstrated that it drains blood primarily from the leg and foot, not from its
## Abstract The radiopaque contrast medium diatrizoate, has a vasodilator effect so that it is used in suddenβdeafness secondary ischemic injury. However, ischemic problems are encountered, especially when longer flaps are elevated. A longer flap also has ischemic and relatively ischemic tissue, an
There is a need for a laboratory model that would allow assessment of the effects of vascular pedicle compression in the myocutaneous flap. We describe a technique as used in the pig that responds to the needs of technical reproducibility and sequential compromise of vascular flow as measured by las
