Pectoral‐Sparing Deltoid Artery Use in the Vessel‐Depleted Neck: A Pictorial Essay
Our cohort demonstrated success using the deltoid artery for microvascular anastomosis in patients with vessel-depleted necks. It remains viable despite previous therapies. These data support the deltoid branch with a pectoral-sparing approach as a promising first-line arterial donor for various free flap reconstructions in patients with vessel-depleted necks.
