Muscle Flap Transposition

This is the case of a severe Pseudomonas aeruginosa biological vascular graft infection, completely involving the perianastomotic tract of a femoro — femoral crossover bypass and resulting in repeated bleeding from the offended vessel wall. After the failure of a sartorious rotational muscle flap transposition into the infected groin wound, this ‘high-grade’ vascular graft infection was finally treated successfully by wrapping a great saphenous vein patch reinforcement circumferentially around the damaged biological vascular conduit and filling the infected wound with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous muscle flap transposition. The aim of this report is to illustrate this novel, to our knowledge, ‘perivascular venous banding’ technique and to evaluate the prospective of future testing of this surgical procedure. Starting from this singular case, we will also review the role of the rotational muscle flaps in the conservative management of major vascular graft infections.

Abstract Background Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) refers to an abnormal channel between the pleural space and the bronchial tree. It is a potentially fatal postoperative complication after pulmonary resection and a complex challenge for thoracic surgeons because many patients with BPF ultimately develop refractory empyema, which is difficult to manage and has a major impact on quality of life and survival. Therefore, an operative intervention combined with conservative and endoscopic therapies may be required to control infection completely, to occlude BPF, and to obliterate the empyema cavity during treatment periods. Case presentation Two patients who suffered from BPF complicated with chronic empyema after lobectomy were treated in other hospitals for a long time and did not recover. In our department, we performed staged surgery and creatively combined an Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO) device (AGA Medical Corp, Golden Valley, MN, USA) with pedicled muscle flap transposition. First, open-window thoracostomy (OWT), or effective drainage, was performed according to the degree of contamination in the empyema cavity after the local infection was controlled. Second, Amplatzer device implantation and pedicled muscle flap transposition was performed at the same time, which achieved the purpose of obliterating the infection, closing the fistula, and tamponading the residual cavity. The patients recovered without complications and were discharged with short hospitalization stays. Conclusions We believe that the union of the Amplatzer device and pedicle muscle flap transposition seems to be a safe and effective treatment for BPF with chronic empyema and can shorten the length of the related hospital stay.
