Vascular kinking or twisting of the vascular pedicle is a major cause of free flap failure. However, it is difficult to place empty vessels accurately during clamping. Nonetheless, temporary revascularization engorges the flap vein before venous anastomosis and minimizes the risk of venous kinking and twisting. According to our results, reclamping did not increase the risk of arterial thrombosis.
