title: Gastroduodenal arterial reconstruction of the pancreaticoduodenal allograft.
abstract: Simultaneous procurement of the pancreas and liver necessitates division of vessels supplying both organs. The integrity of the pancreatic arterial supply appears to be related to surgical complications after pancreas transplantation. We have described herein three cases of gastroduodenal artery (GDA) reconstruction during pancreas transplantation, and reviewed other options for GDA reconstruction. These techniques performed safely during bench reconstruction can be applied to various clinical situations.
