1 The “thymopericardial fat flap”: A versatile flap in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 
Alain Wurtz, MD, Francis Juthier, MD, PhD, Massimo Conti, MD, André Vincentelli, MD, PhD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 141, Issue 3, Pages e1 (March 2011) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2011 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Anatomy and development of “thymopericardial fat flap.” Diagram showing “thymopericardial fat flap” fashioned using internal thoracic artery (and vein), freeing from thoracic wall, divided in sixth intercostal space, and divided from pericardiophrenic and musculophrenic arteries (double arrows and dotted line).
