Pancreatic graft survival after arterial thrombosis in simultaneous renal-pancreatic transplantation.
Vascular thrombosis following pancreas transplantation is one of the main causes of early graft loss.  Successful thrombectomy after pancreatic graft thrombosis has not been reported yet.  A patient with arterial graft thrombosis in whom the graft survived after thrombectomy is described.  Different varieties of pancreatic graft thrombosis are discussed.
