Compromised microvascular free flaps; salvage using Fogarty vascular catheter thrombectomy. Compromised free flap perfusion secondary to thrombus formation is a routinely encountered complication in microvascular free tissue transfer.

We present the use of Fogarty vascular catheter for thrombectomy and effective salvage of the flap.
