Potts-Smith Plastic — Plastic Variant of Cardiac Pattern

Beyond the cardiac and cartilage variants of the Potts-Smith pattern, the plastic-surgery variant adapts the Chicago paediatric-cardiac long-shaft fine-tip design to plastic-surgery vascular work — free-flap recipient-vessel preparation at the internal-mammary perforator level, pedicled-flap preservation arterial side-branch division, and microvascular cross-finger-flap recipient-vessel preparation. Plastic-variant Potts-Smith.

• Free-flap IMA perforator prep
