Perfusion Computed Tomography for Assessing Pancreas Graft Volumetric Perfusion After Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: Background: There is paucity of data in the available medical literature regarding the parameters of the volumetric perfusion of pancreas grafts. Methods: From 5 February 2016 to 23 December 2021, we performed perfusion computed tomography in 41 patients at different times after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation. The study group consisted of 18 men (44%) and 23 women (56%) with a long history of type 1 diabetes mellitus complicated by terminal chronic renal failure. The results of the perfusion computed tomography of the pancreas graft were studied, and the effects of post-transplantation timing and graft revascularization peculiarities on volumetric perfusion parameters were evaluated. Results: The median arterial blood flow, arterial blood volume, and
