“…The size limit of an IMAP flap that can be closed primarily may depend on various factors such as the patient's age, sex, weight, height, previous injury, and local skin condition. An electronic search found only a few clinical cases of chest reconstruction using an IMAP flap had been previously published [2][3][4][5][6]. In all cases, a flap was raised near the recipient site and rotated to cover it, and the donor sites were closed primarily.…”

“…The internal mammary artery perforator (IMAP) flap can be used to reconstruct small to medium-sized defects in the neck or upper chest [2][3][4][5][6]. Its main advantage is its minimal donor site morbidity and superior aesthetic outcome.…”

“…Few studies of bifurcation areas for ITA branches have been reported (17)(18)(19). Rosson et al (17) noted that most perforating branches of the ITA diverge from the second intercostal space, followed by those from the third.…”

“…Starting in 1917, IMAP-based flaps have been used, mostly for head and neck reconstruction [19]. The ability of the lower perforating branches of the internal mammary vessels to serve as the vascular pedicle of a true island flap was proven by Kalender et al [20] when they introduced the use of the IMAP flap for post-burn mammary correction in 2000. Subsequently, the use of this flap was described for secondary contralateral breast reconstruction [20][21][22] and the reconstruction of anterior chest wall defects following ablative surgery [23,24].…”
