Abstract

This study demonstrated that choke anastomosis not only impairs blood perfusion in the adjacent angiosomes but also acts as a shunt converter to impact the blood supply of distal skin flaps at different levels through the "trans-territory diversion phenomenon." This results in necrosis of the superficial dermis while preserving survival of the deep subcutaneous adipose tissue.
