Abstract
Intestinal transplantation has continued to evolve over the
past decade. Fewer patients have received intestine transplants in the past 5
years, perhaps due to efforts in intestine rehabilitation. Despite improvement
in earlier outcomes, long-term survival has remained steady over the past
decade. This is potentially due to the complications of immunosuppression, as
well as inherent poor graft half-life due to chronic rejection. Improvements in
outcome will require multidisciplinary efforts to understand the long-term
mechanisms of intestine graft acceptance and to properly optimize and
individualize immunosuppression for the transplant recipient.
