Background: As a significant bridge between perforasomes, choke vessels are the key structure of blood supply expansion, also a prerequisite for preventing distal ischemic necrosis of the multiterritory perforator flap, where the remodeling of choke vessels after flap elevation plays an essential role. This systematic review highlights the underlying mechanisms and clinical ways to promote remodeling of choke vessels, as well as experimental observation approaches to further guide researchers.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted from 1975 to 2023 through PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane database with the key words "choke vessels" and "perforator flap" to investigate the mechanisms and ways to promote remodeling of choke vessels as well as observation approaches.
