Title: Arterial Embolization as a Treatment of Chronic Edema Following Free Cutaneous Flap Transfer to the Lower Limbs

Journal Article · · Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology

We report 3 cases of successful treatment by selective arterial embolization of the feeding arterial branches without side effect. One session embolization is advocated as a first line treatment of this condition.
