[Arterial reconstruction with detubulated aortic patch in simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation]. / La reconstruction artérielle par patch aortique détubulé dans la greffe simultanée rein-pancréas.

ABSTRACT

Simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation has become an accepted therapy for the treatment of patients with insulino-dependant diabetes and renal chronic failure. The arterial arrangement of the pancreatic graft is necessary in order to avoid surgical complications of vascular thrombosis. We reported three cases of simultaneous pancreas kidney, a simple procedure using aortic arterial patch preleved with the superior mesenteric artery and detubulated, than the splenic artery is directly anastomosed to the patch.
