Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator

Although sickle cell disease has long been viewed as a contraindication to free flap transfer, little data exist evaluating complications of microsurgical procedures in the sickle cell trait patient. Reported is the case of a 55-year-old woman with sickle cell trait who underwent a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) microvascular free flap following mastectomy. The flap developed signs of venous congestion on postoperative day two but was found to have patent arterial and venous anastomoses upon exploration in the operating room. On near-infrared indocyanine green angiography, poor vascular flow was noted despite patent anastomoses and strong cutaneous arterial Doppler signals. Intrinsic microvascular compromise or sickling remains a risk in the sickle cell trait population as it does for the sickle cell disease population. Just like in sickle cell disease patients, special care should be taken to optimize anticoagulation and minimize ischemia-induced sickling for patients with sickle cell trait undergoing microsurgery.

Sickle cell trait was included because, at that time, a great deal of speculation and new information was forthcoming regarding sudden death in military recruits who had sickle cell trait. The members of the Sports Medicine Committee believed that it was important to indicate that, in spite of these new concerns, there were no data to indicate that anyone with sickle cell trait should not be included in any athletic activities. Sickle cell disease was excluded because it is a disease with variable expression and one which is characterized by numerous exacerbations and periods of quiescence.

Hyposthenuria was investigated in subjects with sickle cell trait and in patients with sickle cell anemia. The following were observed: 1) in subjects with sickle cell trait both normal and reduced maxima of urinary concentration are found, whereas all untreated patients with sickle cell anemia over 6 months of age have hyposthenuria; 2) hyposthenuria becomes increasingly more severe with advancing age in both sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait; 3) in a 6-month-old patient with sickle cell anemia and hyposthenuria, the maxima of urinary concentration returned to normal after two transfusions of normal erythrocytes. Reasons are presented for favoring the hypothesis that hyposthenuria in sickle cell disease is due to renal damage, possibly from intravascular sickling of erythrocytes in renal vessels or from the presence of "free" circulating S-hemoglobin.
