Sequellae of diabetes have to be considered worse than short term surgical risks and the long term risks of chronic immunosuppression.
History of Pancreas History of Pancreas TransplantationTransplantation
1913 Hedon: pancreas segment to neck of dog
1921 Banting & Best: extraction of insulin
1966 Kelly/Lillehei: 1st clinical pancreas tx 60 grafts/56 pts. 3% graft/39% pt @ 1 yr.
1978 Introduction of cyclosporin295grafts/276 pts. 40% graft/77% pt @ 1 yr
History of Pancreas History of Pancreas Transplantation (cont’d)Transplantation (cont’d)
since 1984: improved vascular techniques (“Y” graft) drainage of exocrine function (bladder vs. enteric) improved immunosuppression (FK506, MMF) improved rejection therapy (OKT3) improved antibiotics (anti-viral, fungal agents)
