Peripheral nerve regeneration in the apolipoprotein-E-deficient mouse.

abstract：BACKGROUND: During reconstructive surgery, anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap harvest is challenging due to variation and uncertainty in perforator distribution. We performed a pilot study to identify the predictive value of catheter-based computed tomography angiography (C-CTA) and traditional CTA (T-CTA) in ALT perforato...
