[Vascularization of skin-muscle flap from greater pectoral muscle]

The results of studies on vascularization of skin-muscle flap from greater pectoral muscle have been presented. Flaps taken from human dead bodies were injected by Micropaguae preparation and then the range of vascularization of greater pectoral muscle by thoracoacromial artery and its branches was estimated on roentgenograms. It has been found that t.p.b. pectoral branch is characterized by small variation of the run that enables safety utilization of the flap in clinical practice.
