SAGE Open Medicine: Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation

eISSN: 23723513 | ISSN: 00000002
Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation, a SAGE Open Medicine publication, is the first multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, international journal to exclusively focus on this new discipline. Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation is an emerging new era in transplant medicine and has become a viable reconstructive option for patients with extensive tissue defects and severe dysfunctions.

VCA publishes several types of manuscripts including Original Articles, Clinical Studies and Case Reports, Reviews, Commentaries, and highlights from meetings devoted to Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation. Special issues dedicated to particular types of vascularized composite allografts are also anticipated.

It is the purpose of the American Society for Reconstructive Transplantation (ASRT) to provide a platform for the advancement of education, science and practice of composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA) as relevant to reconstructive and transplant surgery.

The article processing charge (APC) for this journal is 2000 USD.

Introducing VCA

Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation is an emerging new era in transplant medicine and has become a viable reconstructive option for patients with extensive tissue defects and severe dysfunctions. Advances in microsurgical techniques, transplant immunology and the development of novel immunosuppressive agents have enabled the realization of such novel transplants. Over the past decade, a rapidly growing number of face and upper extremity transplantations have been performed worldwide with highly encouraging outcomes.

VCA is the first multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, international journal to exclusively focus on this new discipline. The content of this journal is directed towards both basic scientists and clinicians, with the aim of delivering the most complete and reliable source of information on current developments and advances in this novel field of transplantation. The journal welcomes high-quality scientific articles on a broad range of topics including organ/tissue preservation, ischemia reperfusion injury, mechanisms of skin rejection, immune regulation and tolerance induction, experimental immunosuppression and immune monitoring, nerve regeneration and cortical reintegration, as well as surgical techniques, and clinical trials and protocols.

VCA publishes several types of manuscripts including Original Articles, Clinical Studies and Case Reports, Reviews, Commentaries, and highlights from meetings devoted to Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation. Special issues dedicated to particular types of vascularized composite allografts are also anticipated. We are welcoming authors, reviewers and readers to join this exciting new venture of VCA.
