Facial Vascularized Composite Tissue Allotransplantation
Reconstruction of severe composite defects of the face is challenging for reconstructive surgeons. Despite several reconstructive techniques, the functional and aesthetic results of these patients are not acceptable. As a major organ, face, has an utmost importance in daily life. The specific characteristics of face require not a reconstruction, but a replace with same tissue. With the evolutio...
متن کاملCurrent status of vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation
Vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation (VCA) offers treatment options of complex functional deficiencies that cannot be repaired with conventional reconstructive methods. VCAs consist of blocks of functional units comprising different tissue types such as skin, bone, muscle, nerves, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and others, and are thus substantially different from the compositio...
متن کاملUpper Extremity Composite Tissue Allotransplantation Imaging
OBJECTIVE Upper extremity (UE) transplantation is the most commonly performed composite tissue allotransplantation worldwide. However, there is a lack of imaging standards for pre- and posttransplant evaluation. This study highlights the protocols and findings of UE allotransplantation toward standardization and implementation for clinical trials. METHODS Multimodality imaging protocols for a...
متن کاملSite-Specific Immunosuppression in Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation: Prospects and Potential
Skin is the most immunogenic component of a vascularized composite allograft (VCA) and is the primary trigger and target of rejection. The skin is directly accessible for visual monitoring of acute rejection (AR) and for directed biopsy, timely therapeutic intervention, and management of AR. Logically, antirejection drugs, biologics, or other agents delivered locally to the VCA may reduce the n...
متن کاملMouse Models of Experimental Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation
The clinical practice of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has been limited by the potential side effects of chronic immunosuppression. Studies using rodent models have been useful for dissecting mechanisms underlying immunological events induced by VCA and for developing protocols such as mixed chimerism for tolerance induction. Mouse models of VCA have great advantages over rat...
