Congenital arteriovenous malformation of the head and neck.

Abstract:

:A discussion of congenital arteriovenous malformation of the head and neck based on five patients followed from three to twenty years is presented. Definition of the lesion and its progression as followed by angiography is described. The poor response to surgery is ascribed to the ischemic nature of the area of involvement. The concept of supplying normal tissue with normal vascularity to the involved area is advocated.

  • Free tissue transfer to extend the limits of limb salvage for lower extremity tissue loss.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:The extent of tissue loss amenable to primary healing after revascularization is unknown. Salvage of limbs with large soft-tissue defects with exposed tendon, joint, or bone lies beyond the limits of conventional techniques. We report our results using free tissue transfer as an adjunct to lower extremity va...
