Posterior intercostal flap: an anatomical study and best flap design

Abstract: Background Posterior intercostal arteries perforators (PICAPs) and lateral intercostal arteries perforators (LICAPs) are great vascular pedicles. Between the 4th and 11th spaces, they arise from the thoracic aorta. These are large perforators that can be the basis of many flaps. Yet, these perforators are underrated as they are poorly studied and scarcely utilized in plastic reconstructions. Methods Twenty (ten males and ten females) adult cadaveri… Show more

“…LICAPs arise at a mean distance of 15±1.22 cm from the midline. [12] Perforators were abundantly present in the body; thus, they could be easily found around the defect. Based on the concept of the freestyle flap, ICAP flaps can be harvested to cover truncal defects that extend from the lower neck to the lower abdomen and the lumbosacral area [9].…”
