Dr. Marga has not performed this theoretical flap where both sides of the abdomen are harvested on the superficial inferior epigastric artery. To complete this reconstruction, one hemi-abdominal flap would be sewn into the mammary system antegrade, with the second retrograde similar to one method of a bi-pedicle DIEP.

What an exciting possibility!
