Free Flap Breast Reconstruction Using Virtual Surgical Planning and 3-D Modeling

Exclusion Criteria

• •Subjects receiving any prior abdominoplasty or abdominal liposuction, or patient that plan on undergoing radiation therapy after reconstruction.
• •History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to IV contrast.
• •Subjects with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study because IV contrast and CT scans have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown, but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with breast cancer, breastfeeding should be discontinued.
• •Unsuitable donor site volume or vasculature based on pre-operative imaging or physical exam.
