Improvement of a long random skin flap survival by application of vascular endothelial growth factor in various ways of local administration in a rat model

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a heparin-binding glycoprotein which plays a significant role in angiogenesis and vascular permeability. The effect of various ways of local administration of VEGF on random skin flap survival was studied, using flaps with a relatively high le...
