Abstract:
Breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP flap) is an optimal technique for massive tissue defect after breast cancer surgeries. Venous congestion is one of the main complications and the probable reasons include thrombus, lack of ramus communicans across the midline or between deep and superficial system, improper choice of anastomotic vein, et al. Clinical examination is the main method, and other auxiliary tests can also be used. Preoperative vascular evaluation is of great importance. The venous superdrainage is current preventive measure for congestion.
