High-frequency Ultrasound Evaluation of Midline Crossing-over Vessel: Correlation with Perfusion of Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap
HFUS provides detailed anatomical insights into midline crossing-over vessels but lacks correlation with flap perfusion, limiting its predictive value for DIEP flap outcomes. Further studies are needed to explore its association with perfusion-related complications.
