Abstract

Efforts to transplant immediately vascularized pancreas grafts or free grafts of dispersed pancreatic islet tissue have been made almost continuously at the University of Minnesota since 1966. The work of Lillihei and colleagues with 14 pancreas transplants performed before 1974 have been reported previously (5, 6), as have 18 of our 20 attempts at islet transplantation since that time (8, 13).
