First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tested whether a technique called ischemic preconditioning, which is used in organ transplants, could reduce fat tissue damage after breast reconstruction surgery. 18 women who had breast cancer and were having delayed breast reconstruction with their own belly fat took part. The approach involved short cycles of blood flow interruption before the main surgery to help the tissue tolerate the procedure better.
