Published: Dec 31, 2016		 Abstract The angiosome is a 3D structure which is perfused by a single perforating artery (arteriosome) and drained by a perforating vein (venosome). The concept of arteriosome is applied in plastic surgery and in the revascularization of ischemic limbs. Each venosome is also drained by longitudinal veins running in the subcutaneous layer. Accordingly, the concept of venosome cannot be applied in the field of the venous disorders of the limbs. The concept of phlebosome consider both paths of venous drainage.
Keywords angiosome, arteriosome, venosome, phlebosome.
