Do adipose-Derived Stem Cells Improve Survival of Random Pattern Cutaneous Flaps in Radiation Damaged Skin?
These findings suggest that ADSCs have a potential for enhancing the blood supply of random pattern skin flaps after radiation injury. This mechanism might be both neovascularization and vasodilation along with endothelial repair. Further studies are needed.
During prolonged VF the activation rate of the His bundle is faster than that of the VM. This suggests that the proximal conduction system, like the distal Purkinje system, may be an important driver during long duration VF and may be a target for interventional therapy.
