Pancreatic allograft thrombosis (PAT) remains the leading cause of nonimmunologic graft failure. Here, we propose a new computed tomography (CT) grading system of PAT to identify risk factors for allograft loss and outline a management algorithm by retrospective review of consecutive pancreatic transplantations between 2009 and 2014. Triple-phase CT scans were graded independently by 2 radiologists as grade 0, no thrombosis; grade 1, peripheral thrombosis; grade 2, intermediate non-occlusive thrombosis; and grade 3, central occlusive thrombosis. Twenty-four (23.3%) of 103 recipients were diagnosed with PAT (including grade 1). Three (2.9%) grafts were lost due to portal vein thrombosis. On multivariate analysis, pancreas after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation/solitary pancreatic transplantation, acute rejection, and CT findings of peripancreatic edema and/or inflammatory change were significant risk factors for PAT. Retrospective review of CT scans revealed more grade 1 and 2 thromboses than were initially reported. There was no significant difference in graft or patient survival, postoperative stay, or morbidity of recipients with grade 1 or 2 thrombosis who were or were not anticoagulated. Our data suggest that therapeutic anticoagulation is not necessary for grade 1 and 2 arterial and grade 1 venous thrombosis. The proposed grading system can assist clinicians in decision-making and provide standardized reporting for future studies.
胰腺移植后血栓形成(PAT)仍然是导致非免疫性移植物失功的主要原因。在此,我们通过回顾性分析 2009 年至 2014 年连续进行的胰腺移植,提出了一种新的 PAT 的 CT 分级系统,以确定移植物丢失的危险因素,并概述了一种管理算法。采用双盲法,由 2 名放射科医生对三期 CT 扫描进行独立分级,0 级为无血栓;1 级为周围性血栓;2 级为中间非闭塞性血栓;3 级为中心性闭塞性血栓。103 例受者中,24 例(23.3%)被诊断为 PAT(包括 1 级)。3 例(2.9%)移植物因门静脉血栓形成而丢失。多变量分析显示,胰肾联合移植/单纯胰腺移植、急性排斥反应以及胰周水肿和/或炎症改变的 CT 表现是 PAT 的显著危险因素。对 CT 扫描的回顾性分析显示,比最初报告的 1 级和 2 级血栓更多。抗凝或不抗凝的 1 级或 2 级动脉血栓和 1 级静脉血栓的受者在移植物和患者存活率、术后住院时间或发病率方面无显著差异。我们的数据表明,1 级和 2 级动脉血栓和 1 级静脉血栓不需要进行抗凝治疗。所提出的分级系统有助于临床医生进行决策,并为未来的研究提供标准化报告。
