Abstract
Our technical procedure for mouse pancreaticoduodenal transplantation is described. A number of methods were attempted. Among them, a modification of S. Lee's method was thought to be the most successful procedure, which was performed with end-to-side anastomosis of the donor portal vein to the inferior vena cava and that of the donor aortic patch to the aorta. Even with this method, however, arterial thrombosis or venous stenosis of the anastomoses was inevitable without the use of some devices as well as special skills in microsurgery.
