A chimaeric-pattern flap design for implantable Doppler surrogate monitoring: A novel placement technique

Current Evidence for Postoperative Monitoring of Microvascular Free Flaps

“…69 Interestingly, Kim et al 81 describe a novel technique in a small case series where the probe is placed on a chimeric flap to yield a surrogate measure of flow, preventing excessive tension on the anastomosis. 83 However, this method introduces an additional operative time by raising a chimeric flap and potentially increases the donor site morbidity. More clinical studies will be required to validate this technique.…”

A triple‐component deep inferior epigastric artery perforator chimeric free flap for three‐dimensional reconstruction of a complex knee defect complicated with patella osteomyelitis

“…The most popular chimeric flaps are ALT flap and thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap (Kim, Ho, & Kim, 2014; Koshima et al, 1993; Yamamoto, Yamamoto, Kageyama, et al, 2020a). In the present case, a contralateral ALT flap could not be used because of stump formation at the center of the thigh.…”

“…In the present case, a contralateral ALT flap could not be used because of stump formation at the center of the thigh. Although reported as a useful chimeric flap, TDAP flap cannot include hard deep fascia suitable for joint capsule reconstruction, because the deep fascia of the latissimus dorsi muscle and the serratus anterior muscle are sparse and weak (Kim et al, 2014; Yamamoto, 2019; Yamamoto, Yamamoto, Kageyama, et al, 2020a). Recently, superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap has been reported as a useful chimeric flap (Yamamoto, 2019; Yamamoto et al, 2019; Yamamoto, Saito, et al, 2016a; Yamamoto, Yamamoto, Kageyama, et al, 2020a).…”

Opportunities and Challenges of Layered Lithium-Rich Manganese-Based Cathode Materials for High Energy Density Lithium-Ion Batteries

“…It significantly improves the rate and cycle performance of the battery. In general, the preparation of ALD and MLD composite coatings not only promotes the progress of the cathode and anode in the capacity − but also promotes the development of many new fields such as the flexible electronics industry. In addition, the diffusion properties of materials can be promoted by the combination of a conformal coating and granular substrate.…”
