Implementation of Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation

  • Registration Closed

Practice Gap

Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) now falls under UNOS oversight.  As such, VCA programs must adhere to the same standards as solid organ transplant programs.  Additionally, since all transplant programs at a UNOS approved transplant hospital fall under the same oversight, processes in the VCA program can impact other programs.  Due to greater experience in the management of immunosuppressive medications, often solid organ transplant professionals will be asked for involvement in VCA programs.  All of these issues are new to physicians involved in VCA.
