Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation is a recognized treatment for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes and advanced chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering significant survival benefits. However, it is associated with a higher risk of venous thrombosis, which can jeopardize the survival of the pancreaticoduodenal graft. This case report describes a patient with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and ESRD who developed acute, occlusive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) involving the right common femoral, profunda femoral, and greater saphenous veins on postoperative day 1 (POD1) following a deceased donor SPK transplant, despite systemic prophylactic anticoagulation.

Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare condition characterized by nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Furthermore, the development and rupture of pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms pose a potentially fatal risk. Median arcuate ligament release (MALR) is useful in the treatment of MALS, with most procedures performed laparoscopically.

Purpose: Ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ERAT) can be used to treat locally advanced tumors that are conventionally unresectable. Because the procedure is rare, there are very few reports in the literature. Recently, we performed ERAT for two cases of cholangiocarcinoma invading caudate lobe, the retrohepatic vena cava and hepatic veins, and investigated technical variations of this procedure.

Transcatheter arterial embolization is a useful treatment for postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, a severe complication of pancreatic surgery. N-butyl cyanoacrylate is a liquid and permanent embolic material that is widely used in transcatheter arterial embolization. However, its use can lead to the adherence of the catheter to the vessel wall and occlusion of the catheter lumen.
