Baseline values represent the average value for each chromophore measured during the 10-minute period (−10 minutes to 0 minutes), just before selective vascular occlusion in the experimental flap groups (selective arterial and selective venous occlusion flap groups). Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way analysis of variance with a Dunnett's posttest analysis allowing for a direct comparison of the baseline chromophore values between the control flap group and the three other groups (selective arterial occlusion flap, selective venous occlusion flap, and native skin groups).
