N2 - The use of cryopreserved allogenic vascular graft in reconstructive microsurgery has rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of lower extremity reconstruction using cryopreserved hepatic artery as the vein conduit. Postoperative flap perfusion was uneventful with satisfactory wound healing, and graft patency was observed on follow-up color Doppler. Thus, cryopreserved allogenic vascular graft could be a source of vascular conduit in microsurgery.
