Man recieves hand transplant 30 years later

Thirty years after David Savage lost his hand, he became third patient to have a successfull hand implant in the United States. Because Savage lost his hand over thrity years ago, doctors had many problems to work with among those being constricted blood vessels. The procedure took over 16 hours with 32 doctors working this past Wednesday. Savage is also the test patient for a anti-rejecting drug called Campath. This reminded me of the bionic arm article though he was able to have a "real" hand transplanted though with new complications after thirty years.
