- Abstract
Although DBD for CIT was not prohibited in Japan, all transplanted cases were performed with DCD because there were only a few DBD per year from 1997 to 2009 and pancreata with DBD were mainly used for pancreas transplantation at this time. In Japan, we performed 21 clinical islet isolations and 17 CITs with DCD from 2004 to 2007 and 16 clinical islet isolations and 15 CITs with DBD from 2013 to 2020. Pancreatic islet transplantation is a treatment option for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and has been performed in various countries [[1], [3], [5]].
