A metabolic investigation of arterialized venous flaps in rabbits using mass spectrometry‐based metabolomics

An arterialized venous flap (AVF) is an ideal choice of flap to repair wounds. However, the survival of these flaps remains the source of some concern. This study used metabolomic analysis to investigate the mechanisms underlying survival in AVF flaps in order to guide the clinical application of these flaps. Thirty‐six male Japanese rabbits were randomly divided into a sham group and an AVF group. They were used for histology and hemodynamic...
