Consistent presence of cutaneous artery angiosome of the caudal gluteal artery suggests the usefulness of a caudal gluteal axial pattern flap in dogs.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to define the angiosome of a cutaneous artery arising from the caudal gluteal artery and identify landmarks for its use as an axial pattern flap.

Methods: This was an experimental anatomic study done between July 2019 and July 2021 with a retrospective review of CT scans. Twenty postcontrast CT scans in client-owned dogs, unrelated to this study, were evaluated for identification of a potential angiosome over the hip region.
