Outcomes of Free-Flap Breast Reconstruction With Vasopressor Use

Our study demonstrates that perioperative vasopressor use does not significantly impact the complication rate associated with free-flap breast reconstruction. Interestingly, we found that patients who received vasopressors experienced a lower rate of flap-related complications. However, when analyzing all primary and secondary outcomes, there was no significant difference between the groups. These results suggest that vasopressor use is safe when clinically indicated in the autologous breast reconstruction population.
