Planning Breast Reconstruction with Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforating Vessels: Multidetector CT Angiography versus Color Doppler US

Abstract: Both color Doppler US and CT angiography resulted in accurate DIEP mapping. Color Doppler US was superior for measuring perforator artery calibers, and CT angiography was superior for estimating the intramuscular course of the perforator vessel and identifying superficial venous communications. Considering x-ray exposure and results of this study, employing multidetector CT angiography is suggested only in selected cases.

“…15 Color Doppler Ultrasonography (CDU) exhibits 96% sensitivity nearly 100% positive predictive value. 16,17 It can identify perforators > 0. 5mm in diameter and can be used in pre-operative planning, intraoperative decisionmaking, and post-operative follow-up.…”

“…5mm in diameter and can be used in pre-operative planning, intraoperative decisionmaking, and post-operative follow-up. [16][17][18] CDU is performed the day before or the morning before the operation with the patient in supine position, as in surgery, and allows for direct visualization of the perforator as it emerges from the deep fascia of the rectus abdominis.…”

“…Furthermore, the MDCT is not suitable for detecting perforators running through the subcutaneous tissue layers. 5 The color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) has been widely performed as a preoperative examination method for a variety of perforator flap surgeries, 6 including anterolateral thigh flaps, 7 deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps, 8 gluteal perforator flaps, 9 and sural artery perforator flaps. 10 In this report, we describe the usefulness of the preoperative CDU in harvesting LTA perforator flaps, and we analyze the courses and diameters of perforators running through this area.…”
