Abstract
The authors report their experience with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction in which an unusual recipient site was used. Successful anastomosis between a suitable perforating vessel from the internal mammary axis and the deep inferior epigastric bundle was performed, and the advantages of this alternative recipient site (perforator to the DIEP flap) are examined.
