Trends in Intestinal Transplantation
Journal Title: Journal of Anesthesia and Surgery - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Intestinal failure (IF) is a life threatening clinical problem that has been successfully mitigated with the development of parenteral nutrition(PN). Administration of PN is not without consequences; in particular PN related liver disease (PNALD) and complications of vascular access pose severe limitation to long-termsurvival on PN. Intestinal transplantation (ITx) as a potential treatment for IF was first performed over 5 decades ago.
