Worldwide experience with the DIEP flap has established its pre-eminent role in breast reconstruction after mastectomy. CT angiographic vascular imaging has enhanced the planning of reconstruction, allowing mapping of perforator patterns to increase the predictability of surgery. This study extends the role of perforator mapping, using measurement of perforator lumen diameters and flap weights to calculate an index that reliably predicts the amount of tissue which will survive. We call this the Flap Viability Index.
全球范围内使用 DIEP 皮瓣进行乳房重建的经验已经确立了其在乳房切除术后重建中的卓越地位。CT 血管造影血管成像增强了重建的规划，允许对穿支模式进行映射，以提高手术的可预测性。本研究扩展了穿支映射的作用，通过测量穿支管腔直径和皮瓣重量来计算一个指数，该指数可以可靠地预测组织的存活量。我们称之为皮瓣存活率指数。
