description

Adenoviral transduction of the VEGF gene in an oversized skin flap increases flap survival and perfusion. In this study we investigated the potential of magnetofection of magnetic lipospheres containing VEGF165-cDNA on survival and perfusion of ischemic skin flaps and evaluated the method with respect to the significance of applied magnetic field and ultrasound.
