The vertical profunda artery perforator (v‐PAP) flap is limited in terms of the tissue volume that can be harvested but is a suitable graft for Japanese patients with relatively small breast sizes. The objectives of this study were to identify the parameter most closely correlated with v‐PAP flap weight on computed tomography angiography (CTA) images and to create an easy‐to‐use v‐PAP flap weight estimation formula by linear regression analysis using the identified parameter.
