Once the thick tissue has completely vascularized, it is then removed from this healthy site of the host and transplanted onto the damaged site.  Once implanted, this tissue is immediately able to integrate its capillary network with the host capillary network throughout the entire engineered tissue [4], which is the main advantage of this strategy.
