The recipient was an eightyear-old quadrimembral amputee secondary to sepsis with distal forearm amputations who was functional with lower extremity prostheses but had failed upper extremity prostheses.

The deep inferior epigastric perforator flap has become increasingly popular for breast reconstruction with the most common recipient vessels being the internal mammary artery and vein.

BACKGROUND The surgically created arteriovenous fistula has recently been recommended as the best available angioaccess for hemodialysis. Therefore, in this study, we carried out a clinical analysis on surgical procedures in the ligation and division of a distal vein to achieve similar effects as those of vein end-to-arterial side after side-to-side anastomosis. METHODS We retrospectively rev...

Objective
 We aimed to remind surgeons of the presence the
 thoracoacromial arterial trunk and cephalic vein (TATCV)
 for a comfortable reliable free flap transfer
 head, arm, trunk, in case mainstream recipient vessels these regions pose some inconveniences
 due previous surgery, radiotherapy, or
 trauma.
