ABSTRACT
This year's chapter on vascularized composite allograft (VCA) encompasses reviews of data collected from 2014 (when VCA was included in the Final Rule) through 2022. The present Annual Data Report shows that the number of VCA recipients in the United States continues to be small and has remained consistent from the prior report. The data continue to be limited by sample size, with trends persistently demonstrating a predominance of White males in the young/middle-aged population as both donors and recipients for nonuterus VCA transplants, and White women younger than 35 years as the predominant recipients of uterus transplant. Similar to the 2021 report, there were only eight failed uterus grafts and one failed nonuterus VCA graft reported from 2014 through 2022. Standardization of definitions of success and failure as well as outcome measures for the different VCA types remain unmet needs in VCA transplantation.
