Core Tip |
Pancreas transplant has become a viable treatment option on type 1 diabetics. The purpose of this review is to describe current barriers to broader pancreatic allograft utilization, and focus on areas for future improvement. Donor pancreata, especially Donations after cardiac death (DCD), remain underutilized. Procurement professionalization might decrease discards and increase pancreatic allograft utilization. Pancreas procurements should be extended to DCDs and suitable obese donors. C-peptide positive non-obese brittle diabetics may be suitable transplant candidates. Longer studies on pancreas transplant cardiovascular benefits are needed; this might eventually drive pancreas transplant advocacy among diabetics. |
