  • Title: Saphenous vein grafts for perforator flap salvage in autologous breast reconstruction.
    Author: Flores JI, Rad AN, Shridharani SM, Stapleton SM, Rosson GD.
    Journal: Microsurgery; 2009; 29(3):236-9. PubMed ID: 19097059.
    Abstract:
    Although the use of saphenous vein grafts in free-flap salvage and extremity replantation is relatively common, their use in breast reconstruction is rare. These two case reports represent extreme alternatives for breast reconstruction flap salvage. In our normal daily practice, the overwhelming majority of elective breast reconstructions proceed smoothly. However, the occasional patient may require saphenous vein graft flap rescue for completion of the reconstruction.
