  • Title: Axial pattern skin flaps in cats.
    Author: Remedios AM, Bauer MS, Bowen CV, Fowler JD.
    Journal: Microsurgery; 1991; 12(2):125-9. PubMed ID: 2011063.
    Abstract:
    The major direct cutaneous vessels identified in the cat include the omocervical, thoracodorsal, deep circumflex iliac, and caudal superficial epigastric arteries. Axial pattern skin flaps based on the thoracodorsal and caudal superficial epigastric arteries have been developed in cats. Rotation of these flaps as islands allows skin coverage to the carpus and metatarsus, respectively. The thoracodorsal and caudal superficial epigastric flaps provide a practical, one-step option in the reconstruction of large skin defects involving the distal extremities of cats.
