“…62,65,66 The work of Noreldin et al and Shalaby and Saad indicated that the perivenous areolar tissue, which contains small arteries, is vital to the survival of type I venous flaps in rats. 66,67 Whereas, the results of Xiu and Chen showed that the similar perivenous areolar tissue was purely venous and had no fine arteries with the vein in the rabbit, and the role of perivenous areolar tissue is strictly to protect and nourish the vein itself. They otherwise proved that the profuse venous network in type II venous flaps and early invasion of new blood vessels are the mainstays of venous flap survival.…”

The arterialized venous flaps are highly regarded in microsurgical and reconstructive surgeries based on advantages of ease of design and harvest without the need to perform deep dissection, no sacrifice of a major artery at the donor site, no limitation of the donor sites, and less donor-site morbidity. Many experimental investigations and clinical applications have been reported. However, their survivals are still inconsistent, and survival mechanisms remain controversial. In this review, we update the existing problems, experimental studies for survival mechanisms, clinical practices, and methods developed to improve their survivals.

“…The principle of the island flap repair has a long history 1−5 The KDPIF is designed within the dermatomal segments or precincts (Fig. 1) and straddles longitudinal running structures, 6,7 for example cutaneous nerves and superficial veins 8 which are incorporated in the flap. Aligning the flaps, where possible, along the cutaneous nerve supply incorporates the perforators that accompany the peripheral nerves 8,9 .…”

“…There are considerable controversies on the real nature of their survivals. 2,7,8 Noreldin et al 7 and Shalaby et al 8 in their experimental study demonstrated presence of arterioles and multiple capillaries in the perivenous areolar tissue, which is vital to the survival of venous flaps. On the other hand, Xiu et al 9 showed that the profuse venous network in flow-through venous flaps and early invasion of new blood vessels are the mainstays of venous flap survival.…”
