The Precision of Colour Doppler Ultrasonography Combined with Dynamic Infrared Thermography in Perforator Mapping for Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction
Background: Perforator mapping is a mandatory tool for the preoperative planning of a microsurgical free flap, especially in breast reconstruction. Numerous methods for mapping have been described. In this study, we investigate the combined use of Dynamic Infrared Thermography (DIRT) and Colour Doppler Ultrasonography (CDUS) only to see whether it can eliminate the need for Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 33 patients with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps for breast reconstruction. DIRT, followed by CDUS and CTA, was performed preoperatively and perforators were confirmed intraoperatively. Results: From 135 hot spots found on DIRT, 123 perforators were confirmed by CDUS (91.11%). A total of 86.66% of the perforator vessels detected on CTA have their correspondent on DIRT, while 95.12% have their correspondent on CDUS. No statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) was found comparing DIRT vs. CTA and CDU vs. CTA. The average DIRT time was 121.54 s and CDUS 232.09 s. The mean sensitivity for DIRT was 95.72% and 93.16% for CDUS. Conclusion: DIRT combined with CDUS can precisely and efficiently identify suitable perforators without the need for CTA in DIEP breast reconstruction.
