Free Flap Salvage Using Extracorporeal Tissue Plasminogen Activator Administration: A Comparative Study

Free Flap Salvage Using Extracorporeal Tissue Plasminogen Activator Administration: A Comparative Study

Background:. Flap thrombosis is a challenging complication in free flap surgery, which if untreated will lead to flap failure. Besides mechanical thrombectomy, the potential benefit of thrombolytic therapy with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in flap salvage surgery remains uncertain. We hypothes...
