Vascular endothelial growth factor gene therapy in improvement of skin paddle survival in a rat TRAM flap model.

abstract：:Vascularized bone allografts (VBAs) could be useful adjuncts to the clinical reconstructive surgeon's arsenal. These grafts are known experimentally to be subject to host rejection. One way to control the rejection problem would be to develop specific immune unresponsiveness via host conditioning. Using a proven relia...
