Free-flap success has been the rule with technical advancements in microsurgery. Despite improvements, thrombosis and flap loss still occur occasionally. Salvaging a sick flap can be a harrowing experience, even in the most experienced hands. Thrombolysis using intravenous and intra-arterial urokinase, streptokinase, and/or tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) administered through the flap vascular pedicle has been reported in free-flap salvages. In such situations, success depends on early diagnosis and emergent exploration. Recently, we successfully used rtPA subcutaneously to salvage a venous congested free transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneous (TRAM) flap. Here, we report on that case.
随着显微外科技术的进步,游离皮瓣移植成功率很高。尽管有所改进,但血栓形成和皮瓣丢失仍偶尔发生。挽救病变皮瓣可能是一次痛苦的经历,即使是经验最丰富的医生也不例外。在游离皮瓣挽救中,已报道通过皮瓣血管蒂静脉内和动脉内使用尿激酶、链激酶和/或组织纤溶酶原激活剂(rtPA)进行溶栓。在这种情况下,成功取决于早期诊断和紧急探查。最近,我们成功地通过皮下注射rtPA挽救了一例静脉淤血的游离腹直肌肌皮(TRAM)瓣。在此,我们报告该病例。
