Vascular Complications of Transplantation: Part 2: Pancreatic Transplants

Authors: Minhaj S. Khaja, Alan H. Matsumoto, Wael E. Saad

Abstract

Vascular complications after solid organ transplantation are not uncommon and may lead to graft dysfunction and ultimately graft loss. A thorough understanding of the surgical anatomy, etiologies, and types of vascular complications, their presentation and the options for management are important for managing these complex patients. This article reviews the basic surgical anatomy, the vascular complications, and endovascular management options of vascular complications in patients with pancreas transplants.
