Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the duration after surgery affects the histological changes in venous grafts used for arterial blood flow, which is important for improving free flap reconstructions.
- A total of 25 rats were operated on over several weeks, and histological samples were collected to check blood flow through vascular loops at different time intervals post-surgery.
- Results showed that the longer the grafts were in place post-surgery, the more likely they were to develop intimal proliferation and experience graft occlusion, suggesting that combining surgeries may be beneficial for vascular loop effectiveness.
