Vascular Occlusion in a Porcine Flap Model: Effects on Blood Cell Concentration and Oxygenation

Background:. Venous congestion in skin flaps is difficult to detect. This study evaluated the ability of tissue viability imaging (TiVi) to measure changes in the concentration of red blood cells (CRBC), oxygenation, and heterogeneity during vascular provocations in a porcine fasciocutaneous flap mo...
