The goal of this study is to determine whether harvesting islets using carbon monoxide (CO)-saturated mediums can protect islet cell from death after autologous islet transplantation in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
Investigators plan to harvest human islets using carbon monoxide-saturated mediums. Survival and function of transplanted islets will be compared with islets harvested using regular mediums.
