Ten autotransplants are presented. Renal autografts were performed in the correction of renal artery stenosis, renal artery aneurysm, and intrarenal arteriovenous fistula. All were successful. Jejunal autografts were used to replace the cervical esophagus twice and the entire esophagus once. All grafts were successful, although one patient with advanced cancer died. Pancreatic segmental autografts were used to prevent diabetes following three subtotal pancreatectomies for chronic pancreatitis and one total pancreatectomy for carcinoma. Two patients have functioning grafts, require no insulin, and are free of disease at present. One patient is free of pancreatitis but is diabetic, and one patient died of probable pulmonary embolus. These experiences suggest that organ autografts can be used with greater frequency in clinical surgery and may alter standard therapy for several problems.

We report a case of renal artery stenosis most probably secondary to chronic pancreatitis. The patient had a traumatic pancreatic fistula. This was followed by numerous attacks of pancreatitis in the following years. At a relatively young age, he developed hypertension. Examinations revealed a right renal artery stenosis which was successfully treated by a percutaneous angioplasty. This rare complication should be kept in mind as a possible complication of pancreatitis.
