Avoiding ischemia in latissimus dorsi muscle grafts: electrical prestimulation versus vascular delay

Background. Surgical mobilization of the latissimus dorsi muscle produces regional ischemic damage that may compromise its function in clinical applications such as cardiomyoplasty. We compared the effectiveness of two procedures designed to maintain blood flow throughout the mobilized muscle. Metho...
