Thymoglobulin induction decreases rejection in solitary pancreas transplantation.

abstract：:As a consequence of its large volume, a microencapsulated islet graft can be implanted only into the peritoneal cavity. The graft volume can be reduced by using small capsules. However, reduction of the diameter of the capsules holds a certain risk, because with smaller capsules, more islets may be found to protrude f...
