      <i>Background</i> - Arterial and venous thrombosis are feared complications of pancreas transplantation (PTx). Microbubble contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a non-invasive imaging technique that can augment diagnostic capabilities of transplant organ perfusion.<p><p> <i>Purpose</i> - To document the state to which CEUS can improve the vascular evaluation of PTx compared to conventional ...

      Until recently, pancreas transplantation has mostly been performed with exocrine drainage via duodenojejunostomy (DJ). Since 2012, DJ was substituted with duodenoduodenostomy (DD) in our hospital, allowing endoscopic access for biopsies. This study assessed safety profiles with DD versus DJ procedures and clinical outcomes with the DD technique in pancreas transplantation. DD patients (n = 117; 62 ...
