Successful free flap salvage upon venous congestion in bilateral breast reconstruction using a venous cross‐over bypass: A case report

Abdominal free flaps such as the muscle sparing transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (ms‐TRAM) or deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap represent the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction. We describe a salvage procedure during bilateral free flap breast reconstruction due to insufficient venous drainage using a venous cross‐over bypass.
