Is there an otr microwave that does not vent through front/top?

Guys/Gals,

We're building a custom "niche" in our cabinets to accommodate an Over The Range Microwave that sits "flush" into the wall cabinets... Here's the rub (no pun intended)... most of the OTR microwaves seemed to be designed with venting for the regular microwave operation on the top front 1" of the unit...

Obviously with this venting locating, we can't push the microwave back flush with the surrounding cabinetry, otherwise we will block the vent that sits on top right next to the door opening....

What I'm wonder is this... the underside of the microwave is completely "open"... I've looked online, but it's near impossible to tell if there's a unit made by any mauf that actually allows you to vent the microwave exhaust out the bottom of the unit.

Does such a thing exist?

Thanks!
