Diametric Comparison between the Thoracodorsal Vessel and Deep Inferior Epigastric Vessel in Breast Reconstruction

<div>(a) Mean venous diameters of TD branches and DIEP. (b) 95% confidence intervals using repeated measured one-way ANOVA. The diameter of the DIEP vein was similar to those of the bSA and Db; TD: thoracodorsal; bSA: the largest branch to the serratus anterior muscle; Db: the descending branch; bLD1: the largest branch to the latissimus dorsi muscle; bLD2: the second largest branch to the latissimus dorsi muscle; DIEP: deep inferior epigastric perforator.</div>
