How to avoid graft thrombosis requiring graftectomy: immediate posttransplant CT angiography in pancreas transplantation.

abstract：:Untreated anephric LEW rats die ca. 9 days following transplantation of LBNF1 kidney allografts. Although treatment with ART-18, a mouse antirat IL-2R mAb (300 micrograms/kg/day x 10 days), prolonged graft survival to ca. 3 weeks, the severely impaired renal function was comparable to untreated controls (creatinine le...
