Reconstruction of a septic femoral triangle fistula with a pedicled DIEP flap: A case report and mini-review

We report a septic rupture of the superficial femoral artery treated with an arterial allograft and covered with a contralateral pedicled Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator (DIEP) flap. The patient presented favorable outcomes, including optimal healing at 8 months, with no functional limitation. A literature review also discusses alternative pedicled perforator flaps. These modern techniques present several advantages, including reliability, and can be of great interest in complex vascular surgery cases.PMID:37932173 | DOI:10.1016/j.anplas.2023.10.001
