Description
Summary:About 2,400 pancreas transplantations are performed every year worldwide, mainly pancreaticoduodenal  transplantations. Most clinics use the classical revascularization technique using a Y-shaped vascular prosthetic implant. However, it is not always possible to restore full blood supply to the graft in this way. Therefore, other options for arterial reconstruction are being developed – from isolated blood supply to the graft via the splenic artery to full blood flow restoration through all the main vessels of the organ to ensure the most physiological blood supply to the pancreas. This review is devoted to analysis of the used arterial reconstruction methods and pancreaticoduodenal graft revascularization techniques.
