Markers for the angiogenic potential of fat grafts
The VEGF has been described as a key angiogenic factor in fat grafts that may be linked to successful grafting; however, two of the fat samples analyzed exhibited high expression of VEGF but lacked significant co-expression of a range of other angiogenic factors. Thus, the assessment of the expression of predisposing mediators for graft angiogenesis for wound healing or contouring should include further angiogenesis promoters aside VEGF as parameters.
