The use of cryopreserved allogenic vascular graft in reconstructive microsurgery has rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of lower extremity reconstruction using cryopreserved hepatic artery as the vein conduit. Postoperative flap perfusion was uneventful with satisfactory wound healing, and graft patency was observed on follow-up color Doppler. Thus, cryopreserved allogenic vascular graft could be a source of vascular conduit in microsurgery.
冷冻保存的同种异体血管移植物在显微重建手术中的应用鲜有报道。在此,我们报告一例使用冷冻保存的肝动脉作为静脉管道进行下肢重建的病例。术后皮瓣灌注顺利,伤口愈合良好,随访彩色多普勒检查观察到移植物通畅。因此,冷冻保存的同种异体血管移植物可能是显微手术中血管管道的一个来源。
