Anteromedial thigh perforator flap to cover the inguinal region in a crossover femorofemoral bypass

We report the case of a 48-year-old male with an exposition of a femorofemoral crossover bypass in the inguinal region and superficial femoral occlusion. This was successfully treated using an anteromedial thigh (AMT) pedicled flap based on the perforator vessel of the descending branch of the later...

Sumario:We report the case of a 48-year-old male with an exposition of a femorofemoral crossover bypass in the inguinal region and superficial femoral occlusion. This was successfully treated using an anteromedial thigh (AMT) pedicled flap based on the perforator vessel of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. Our report focuses on: i) considering the AMT flap as a safe and easy option to cover the inguinal region in cases of bypass exposure; ii) describing the attachment of this flap to the deep femoral artery in a patient with superficial femoral occlusion, in spite of some literature controversy.
