Effect of dipyridamole on the survival of experimental critical skin flaps. 1979

C Arnander, and G Jurell, and G Tornling, and G Unge

The effect of dipyridamole (Persantin) on the survival of experimental skin flaps was studied. In controls 39% of the skin flap area survived. Intraperitoneal injection of dipyridamole 4 mg/kg twice daily starting four hours preoperatively increased the surviving area with 18%. This increase is statistically significant (p less than 0.05). The improved survival could be due to the vasodilatory action of the drug and/or proliferation of small bloodvessels induced by the drug.

D013524 Surgical Flaps Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region.
