Diaz–Abele J, et al. – For traumatic contaminated injuries, authors proposed a novel approach by using arterialized saphenous vein venous flow–through free flaps (S–VFTF) as an autologous bypass, and presented the results of its application in a series of cases. They presented a two–stage reconstruction that could help reconstructive and vascular surgeons consider alternatives to traditional vascular reconstruction methods. This technique seemed to avoid an exposed vascular graft in an extensively contaminated open wound. It allowed the surgeon to perform thorough and sufficient debridement of the wound, preventing definitive reconstruction in a not yet declared zone of injury.
