Abstract:
Analogous arterial and portal circulation to the liver and pancreas has heretofore represented an impediment to the simultaneous procurement of a liver and pancreas from the same cadaveric donor. A surgical approach that allows for the retention of sufficient arterial and portal supply to both allografts is described. Variant hepatic arterial anatomy may be technically managed by the use of a donor iliac artery interposition graft.
