Microvascular polytetrafluoroethylene prostheses: the cellular events of healing and prostacyclin production.

abstract：:Free-tissue transfer in the elderly has received increasing attention in the literature. Existing reports are limited by small samples or inadequate definition of the term elderly. This study reviewed 5 years' experience with free-tissue transfer in a geriatric population (mean age 75 years, range 70 to 83 years). For...
