Abstract
Objective: To investigate the descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery for blood supply of the vastus lateralis muscle flap using 320 multi-detector row CT scanners. Subject and method: There were 46 thigh regions of 23 patients underwent CTA with 320 multi-detector row CT scanners for arterial blood supply investigation. Result: A total of 28 extremities (60.78 %) had descending branch takeoff from lateral circumflex femoral artery that originated from the deep femoral artery, diameters of the descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery were 2.16 ± 0.54mm at proximal and 1.65 ± 0.41mm at distal. The average descending branch length was 159.62 ± 38.83mm. Conclusion: This study provides images (origin, diametters, length) of the descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery, which helps the surgeon to be more active in surgery.
