“…In an experimental study, the common carotid artery and jugular vein were used to revascularize a segment of colon that was used to replace a section of the esophagus 21 . This set of recipient vessels have been used in an experiment to revascularize a cutaneous free flap in cats 22 . This surgical approach can also be used to access the common carotid artery and jugular vein for insertion of monitoring catheters and for selective angiography of the heart and great vessels.…”

Surgical approaches to potential recipient vessels of the head and neck were consistently achieved and provided relatively easy access to the vessels. Clinical Relevance- The surgical approaches described in this report can be used to isolate arteries and veins of the head and neck that are >1 mm in diameter. These vessels are suitable for use as recipient vessels for free tissue transfer for reconstruction of complex wounds of the head and neck.

Renal transplantation (RTx) has been a potential treatment for renal failure in pet cats. We developed a training protocol for the microsurgical skills required for feline RTx using rat vessels, which are the same size as the feline renal artery and vein. Using interrupted sutures, the transected abdominal aorta was reestablished in an end-to-end fashion. Venous anastomosis was performed with a continuous running suture in an end-to-side fashion between the portal vein and inferior vena cava. In the arterial anastomotic model, technical errors were checked by postoperative hemorrhaging. Those failures in the venous anastomotic model, technical errors were confirmed by the rat's death. Histological examinations of the epithelialization at the anastomotic site were evaluated in both groups. After training, nine cases of feline RTx were performed safely, using an adequate microsurgical technique.

“…MICROVASCULAR free tissue transfer using an experimental canine model was reported in 1965; cranial epigastric island skin flaps were elevated, the vascular pedicle transected, and then reanastomosed and to the investigators' surprise, the flaps survived and the era of free tissue transfer began 1 . Successful clinical cutaneous free tissue transfer in a dog was first reported by Miller et al 2 Subsequently others have described microsurgical transfer of muscle, bone, omentum, and composite flaps to distant body sites 3–26 . Surgical approaches to recipient vessels needed for revascularization of transferred tissue have not been described in detail in dogs.…”

Deep Circumflex Iliac Cutaneous Free Flap in Cats

Abstract: Large wounds created by trauma or oncologic ablative surgery in cats could be reconstructed with cutaneous microvascular free flap. Additional studies assessing the critical ischemia time of cutaneous flaps in cats and evaluating the use of this flap clinically are needed.
