[Microcirculation in unphysiological flaps at early stage after operation: an experimental study].
Microcirculation and blood perfusion in unphysiological flaps were observed with rabbit ear microcirculation chamber. The microcirculation of the venous flap in two days after operation was reestablished mainly by diversion of blood flow through the "to and fro" movement of venous blood. Arteriovenous anastomoses were gradually opened, resulting in the microcirculation to restore normal perfusion, venous blood through the anastomoses into arteriole then to capillaries. The microcirculation of arterialized venous flaps was almost the same as that of the venous flaps. In two days after operation, the diversion of blood flow perfused the capillaries under high pressure, so that the flow velocity and rate were much faster and larger than those of the venous flaps. The microcirculation of venouslized arterial flap, nourished by venous blood through the arterial system, was the same as that of the physiological flap. But the capillaries were perfused venous blood flow, and the blood flow velocity and rate were much slower and smaller than those of the physiological flap.
