Vascular thrombosis is a cause of allograft loss after pancreas transplantation. We present the use of intraoperative fluorescence imaging with the SPY imaging device (Novadaq Technologies Inc, Toronto, Canada) in two pancreas transplants as a means to assess potency of the vascular anastomoses. Intravenous indocyanine green 2.

Objectives: This study was designed to determine if the fatty acid-induced increase in H(+) production from glycolysis uncoupled from glucose oxidation delays the recovery of intracellular pH (pH(i)) during reperfusion of ischemic hearts.

Background: High rates of fatty acid oxidation inhibit glucose oxidation and impair the recovery of mechanical function and cardiac efficiency during reperfusion of ischemic hearts.

Methods: pH(i) was measured by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in isolated working rat hearts perfused in the absence (5.
