Brief summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate safety and feasibility of bone marrow (BM) as site for islet transplantation (Tx) in humans. The investigators hypothesis is that BM represents a better site than liver thanks to its potential capacity to favor islet engraftment in face of a more easiness of access and bioptic follow up.
Detailed description
We were permitted to perform single intra BM islet infusion at the level of the iliac crest in patients having contraindications for intraportal infusion. A needle for BM aspiration (14 G) is inserted into the superior-posterior iliac crest and islet suspension (1:2.5; tissue:Ringer's Lactate solution) is infused. The entire intraBM-injection procedure lasted 8-15 min from the beginning of anaesthesia (short propofol sedation).

Inclusion criteria
* diabetic patients eligible for pancreatic islet transplantation based on local accepted practice and guidelines. This includes at least: a)clinical history compatible with T1D with insulin-dependence for \>5 years; b) undetectable stimulated (arginine or MMTT) C-peptide levels (\<0.3 ng/mL) in the 12 months before transplant c)presence of severe hypoglycaemic events * patients undergoing total pancreatectomy because of anastomosis leakage after pancreatoduodenectomy or because of pancreatic anastomosis is made impracticable by technical difficulties and/or high risk of leakage. * presence of contraindications for intraportal islet infusion
Exclusion criteria
* presence of hematologic disease

|---|---|
| Adverse events related to the procedure of intra bone marrow islet infusion | up to 3 years |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
