DOI: 10.1007/s00238-018-1456-6
Abstract: BackgroundDeep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap (DIEP/DIEAP) procedure is a common method for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. For unilateral breast reconstruction, harvesting of the flap can be done contralaterally or ipsilaterally. The aim of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1692168
Abstract: BACKGROUND The low deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap was first introduced in 2016 as it had aesthetic advantages over the conventional DIEP flap. With our experience of over 100 low DIEP flap procedures to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/bjs/znad101.036
Abstract: Currently, one published study documented operative time (OT) as a predictor for postoperative outcomes in bilateral deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstructions. No literature has investigated this in unilateral DIEP flaps. We aimed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000003444
Abstract: Background: During deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap cases, anesthesiologists commonly avoid intravenous vasopressor administration because of the theoretical concern of inducing vasospasm, thrombosis, or congestion in the vessels of the anastomosis, potentially resulting in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000009533
Abstract: Background: The deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap, often considered the standard in autologous breast reconstruction, is reliant on robust arterial inflow and venous outflow. Venous outflow issues remain a critical part in determining… read more here.
