Backup perforator flap derived from a previously transferred musculocutaneous free flap.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Venous congestion is the most common vascular complication of the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flaps. Adding a second venous drainage by anastomosing a flap vein and a recipient vein (super-drainage) is considered the solution of choice. Evidence to support this procedure, had not yet ...
