Abstract
Pancreas transplantation utilizing portal venous and enteric exocrine drainage has potential benefits over the standard systemic venous and bladder exocrine drainage method. Unfortunately, technical difficulties are often experienced with the arterial anastomosis after the portal venous anastomosis is completed. We have found that the addition of an innominate artery interposition graft has greatly simplified the procedure.Keywords
