Abstract:
Objective To explore the change patterns of microcirculation in congested flap. Methods A congested flap model for long-term microeirculation observation was set up, and the mi-crocireulation of the congested tissues was observed carefully. Results Following congestion, the number of the capillaries in the congested flap were decreasing, the velocity of the bloodstreams were getting slower, and the aggregation of the red blood cells and the formation of the white thrombus were becoming more serious. About 72 hours later, the original microcirculation system of the flap was nearly exhausted. About 36 hours later, the neogenetie capillaries could be observed, with clear neogenetie capillaries observed at 48 hours. The congested tissues with nascent capillaries survived, while the capillaries without nascent formation suffered from necrosis in the end. Conclusions If the cause is not removed, the microcirculation status of the congested flap would get worse irreversibly, and the nascent capillaries would play an important role in the survival of congested tissues.
