Pancreas transplant alone (PTA) offers excellent survival rates and restores normal blood sugar levels in type 1 diabetes patients. This procedure can improve cardiovascular health and slow the progression of diabetic complications.

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation Surgery
  • Endocrinology
  • Diabetology

Background:

  • Pancreas transplant alone (PTA) is increasingly performed.
  • PTA can normalize glycemia and prevent acute diabetic complications.
  • Long-term outcomes and impact on chronic complications require further evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of PTA in patients with type 1 diabetes.
  • To assess the impact of PTA on glycemic control, cardiovascular risk factors, and diabetic microvascular complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 28 PTA cases with portal-enteric drainage.
  • Monitoring of patient and graft survival, glycemic control (blood glucose, HbA1c), cardiovascular risk factors, and diabetic retinopathy.

Main Results:

  • 1- and 2-year patient survivals were nearly 100% and 100%, respectively.
  • 1-year graft survival exceeded 80%, with 2-year survival at 87%.
  • Successful transplantation led to rapid normalization of blood glucose and HbA1c, improved cardiovascular risk factors, and positive effects on diabetic retinopathy.

Conclusions:

  • PTA is a viable option for type 1 diabetes patients without advanced kidney disease.
  • PTA effectively restores normoglycemia and positively influences long-term diabetic complications.
