BACKGROUND: Vascular @entity715 is a well-known complication after simultaneous @entity8 (SPK) transplantation procedures. The role of preoperative special coagulation studies to screen @entity1 at high risk for vascular @entity715 is unclear and not well studied. METHODS: This study reports a retrospective medical record review of 83 SPK procedures performed between April 2007 and June 2013 in a single institution. All SPK transplantation recipients underwent preoperative screening for @entity49 state. RESULTS: Eighteen of 83 @entity1 (21.69%) were diagnosed with vascular @entity715 of the pancreas. Of the 23 @entity1 with at least 1 positive screening test, only 4 had a thrombotic event (17.39%). On the other hand, 14 of 60 @entity1 with negative screening tests developed vascular @entity715 (23.33%). The @entity49 screening workup had a positive predictive value of 17.39% and a negative predictive value of 76.67%. The workup also demonstrated low sensitivity (22.22%) and specificity (70.77%). CONCLUSION: No differences were seen in @entity1 or graft survival between groups at 12 months. This retrospective study did not show any benefit of using special coagulation studies to rule out @entity1 at risk for vascular @entity715 after SPK transplantation.
