Arterialized venous flow-through flaps in the reconstruction of digital defects: case series and review of the literature

摘要

BackgroundArterialized venous flow-through (AVFT) flaps are useful in reconstructing small soft tissue defects. Currently, no guidelines exist for the use of AVFT flaps for reconstructing soft tissue defects in the digits of the hand. We retrospectively reviewed our experience with AVFT flaps and developed a selection process for vascular anastomoses.
