[Viability of pancreatic transplants].
28 consecutive organ donors were divided in 5 groups according to age (6 to 40, 40 to 65) shock and history of medication requiring hypertension. Electronmicroscopy, histology and immunohistochemistry of the exocrine and endocrine pancreatic tissue, of the ductal and vascular system revealed no abnormalities accept for donors with known hypertension. On the basis of these findings in the future we will remove pancreas from donors up to the age of 65 and from those having been in shock in order to meet the increasing demand for pancreas transplants.
