The vascular territories (angiosomes) of the body: experimental study and clinical applications
GI Taylor, JH Palmer - British journal of plastic surgery, 1987 - Elsevier
The blood supply to the skin and underlying tissues was investigated by ink injection
studies, dissection, perforator mapping and radiographic analysis of fresh cadavers and
isolated limbs. The results were correlated with previous regional studies done in this
department. The blood supply is shown to be a continuous three-dimensional network of
vessels not only in the skin but in all tissue layers. The anatomical territory of a source artery
in the skin and deep tissues was found to correspond in most cases, giving rise to the …
