Outcome of simultaneous and staged microvascular free tissue transfer connected to arteriovenous loops in areas lacking recipient vessels.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Arteriovenous loops are an indispensable tool in free flap surgery when appropriate recipient vessels are missing. In this study, the authors analyzed whether the outcome differs when flaps were transferred simultaneously or subsequently after construction of arteriovenous loops. METHODS:Twenty-seven patients requiring free tissue transfer received arteriovenous loops by pedicled or free vein grafts because of inadequate local recipient vessels. In head and neck reconstruction, pedicled brachiocephalic or free saphenous vein grafts were anastomosed to cervical or axillary vessels. Pedicled major saphenous vein grafts were used in the pelvic area whereas, in lower leg and foot reconstruction, free saphenous or brachiocephalic veins were used. Flaps were transferred simultaneously (n = 10) or 4 to 17 days later (n = 17). RESULTS:Thrombosis required revision in staged transfer (n = 3 patients) or in simultaneous flap transfer (n = 2). No free flap was lost. Fisher's exact test did not indicate a significant difference between a simultaneous or staged flap transfer. CONCLUSIONS:Temporary arteriovenous loops provide adequate recipient vessels and flow to supply microvascular free flap tissue transfer in areas lacking recipient vessels and in which no other reconstructive options exists. No statistical differences in complications and overall outcome were found between immediate or secondary free tissue transfer. Meticulous monitoring of microvascular perfusion, however, is mandatory in both approaches and early intervention is necessary to ensure successful tissue transfer.
