“…Additional study is needed to determine whether such a discrepancy in length-or the total length of the vascular pedicle-may predispose recipients to torsion. 11 In the case of our patient, for whom the left kidney was used from the donor, the length of the left renal vein was 6 cm and that of the renal artery was 3 cm.…”

“…Torsion may occur as early as the first week, but can occur several months following transplant. 15 Prompt diagnosis is crucial to ensure graft survival. Patients may be asymptomatic and undergoing imaging for routine surveillance, or present with a decline in renal function.…”

“…41,42 Other potential complications include rejection, infection, sepsis, and torsion of the graft around the vascular pedicle. 43 Acute and chronic rejection is the major cause of graft loss in pancreas transplantation, and early acute rejection may be difficult to detect. 44 Similarly, chronic rejection, usually an irreversible process, is insidious and frequently manifests late as a rise in blood glucose level when the function of the endocrine pancreas has been severely impaired.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the evaluation of pancreas transplantation. Standard MRI, magnetic resonance angiography, and MR cholangiopancreatography can demonstrate the changes of the anatomy after transplantation. Vascular complications are assessed by MR angiography. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography reveals ductal changes resulting from acute and/or chronic rejection and determines leaks with the use of a secretin-stimulated MR cholangiopancreatography. Serial contrast-enhanced MRI may detect the diminished perfusion that is related to the graft rejection or vascular complications. In this paper, we reviewed types of pancreas transplantation procedures, complications that arise in a short and/or a long term after the transplantation, and their assessment by MRI.
