Abstract

This study aims to examine transition of care (TOC) practices of multidisciplinary vascular anomalies centers (VACs). Thirty-seven of 71 VAC leaders to whom the survey was sent completed the questionnaire. TOC and transfer practices varied with only 16% of VACs having TOC programs. The most frequently cited barriers to developing a TOC program were lack of resources and difficulty finding expert adult providers.
