Mayo Clinic
Start Date
9/17/2026
Completion Date

Summary
This study is being done to see whether signals from a device that monitors blood flow through the free flap can be recorded and converted from an audible signal, like a heartbeat, into a visual signal. Researchers plan to use this information to ultimately help surgeons and care teams monitor free flaps to try to prevent flap failure.
