The position of 'shunt restriction' along an arterialized vein affects venous congestion and flap perfusion of an arterialized venous flap

摘要

Restriction of arteriovenous (AV) shunting has been shown to enhance peripheral perfusion and also reduce venous congestion of an arterialized venous flap. Thus, this study is designed to investigate the effect of 'shunt-restriction' location on venous congestion and flap perfusion in a 'shunt-restricted' arterialized venous flap (AVF).
