Heterotopic partial face transplantation in a nonhuman primate model. The allograft is heterotopically transplanted to the recipient, with vascular anastomoses performed to the femoral vessels (arterial anastomosis: common carotid artery to common femoral artery, end-to-side); dual venous anastomoses (internal and external jugular veins to common femoral vein, end-to-side).
