Clinical Trial: Perioperative Biomarkers and Outcomes in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Prospective Observational Study

U.S., Dec. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07263347) titled 'Perioperative Biomarkers and Outcomes in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Prospective Observational Study' on Sept. 27.

Brief Summary: This observational study will follow patients who undergo DIEP flap breast reconstruction to better understand a common surgical challenge called ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. I/R injury can happen when a flap has a period without blood flow (ischemia) and then blood flow returns (reperfusion). This process may trigger inflammation and oxidative stress and is associated with fat necrosis or partial flap loss.
