A: Schematic drawing showing a posterior view of the pancreatic graft (PG) and the duodenal segment (DS) of the donor, with an emphasis on the vascular anastomoses. End-to-end anastomosis between the donor external iliac artery (dEIA) and the donor superior mesenteric artery (dSMA) and between the donor internal iliac artery (dIIA) and the donor splenic artery (dSA) is performed, forming a Y graft. The donor common iliac artery (dCIA) serves as the common arterial channel of the pancreatic graft. The veins are resected together with a short segment of the portal vein (dPV), which is commonly used for venous anastomosis in the recipient. B: Pancreatic duodenal block with pancreatic graft (black arrow) and one duodenal segment (arrowhead) after anastomosis of the arterial Y graft, formed by the common iliac artery (white arrow), external iliac artery (white asterisk) and internal iliac artery (black asterisk) of the donor.
