Abstract:
In complex lower limb trauma, the healthy recipient vessels can be far from the defect to be reconstructed due to the usually high-energy injury sustained. The use of vein grafts, either directly or in the form of arteriovenous loops, is the usual solution in these cases. In the vein graft donor-depleted patient, other options are required; the composite arteriovenous radial conduit flap may be a useful resort in these situations.
