Background: Almost 100 hand and face transplants have been performed worldwide. Their success has generated enthusiasm within the medical community, however, little is known about public attitudes toward vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) of the hands and face as compared to solid organ transplantation. The objective of this survey study was to assess these attitudes and…

Most-cited papers in Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation
Clinical management of skin-containing vascularized composite allografts (VCA) requires accurate assessment of the graft status, typically based on skin biopsies. The Banff 2007 Working Classification proposed 4 grades of acute rejection, but did not score individual features or include vascular rejection. Here we report a systematic scoring system developed from MHC-mismatched porcine skin-containing VCA. Biopsies…
Five patients received a bilateral hand (n = 3), a bilateral forearm (n = 1) and a unilateral hand transplant (n = 1) between 03/2000 and 03/2014. We herein describe the long-term outcome with emphasis on function, immunosuppression (IS), histomorphology and graft vascular changes.Induction therapy with antithymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab was followed by tacrolimus, prednisolone…
Background: Despite encouraging outcomes in vascularized composite allograft (VCA) transplantation, the risks of chronic immunosuppression limit widespread applicability. It has been suggested that infusion of donor bone marrow along with the VCA may reduce the level of immunosuppression required to prevent clinical VCA rejection. However, no clear evidence has yet been presented to confirm the…
With the success of upper extremity and face transplantation, the field of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) is preparing to expand into other reconstructive areas of the body. Lower extremity allotransplantation has the potential to offer patients improved function over current prosthetics, reduce phantom limb pain, and reduce prosthetic associated complications. However, these benefits must be…
