Pancreatic transplantation has been relatively uncommon until the last 2 decades, but is now an accepted therapeutic intervention for type I diabetes. Core biopsies of pancreas transplants are frequently performed to rule out rejection, which is a leading cause of graft failure. Often, it is difficult to localize the graft for biopsy by imaging. Our objective was to determine whether on-site assessment by cytopathology can assist in procedure protocols for biopsy of pancreas transplants.
