  • Title: [Angiographic analysis of the tensor fascia lata vascularized flap].
    Author: Jovanović M, Karapandzić M.
    Journal: Acta Chir Iugosl; ; 42-43(2-1):131-5. PubMed ID: 10951760.
    Abstract:
    Vascularisation of the flap of tensor fasciae latae originates from the ascending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery which enters through the medial side of fascia lata tensor as a dominant branch. Knowing the vascular and characteristics of a vascular peduncle is of great importance while taking the flap, so knowing the site of the source of lateral circumflex femoral artery diameter at the source, the number of the terminal branches and the number of ascending branch anastomoses of lateral circumflex femoral artery are the basic significance for successful taking of the flap and its clinical application. Our investigations were done on clinical material, and the study was based on investigations of angiographies of the femoral artery. Measuring the diameter in the source of ascending branch we found that it was 33 mm while the diameter in the bifurcation of the terminal branches of ascending branch was 2.41 mm in average. The length of vascular peduncle of ascending branch was 68.88 mm in average. Vascular peduncle of the flap of tensor fasciae latae has appropriate length and diameter for microvascular anastomosis.
