Reconstruction mammaire en terrain irradié par lambeau libre DIEP compliqué d'une rupture spontanée de l'artère mammaire interne : à propos d'un cas

Nevertheless, preoperative radiotherapy can damage the recipient vascular axes. We report a case of a grave and undocumented spontaneous rupture of the internal mammary artery related to the use of irradiated arterial vessels.
