Thirty-five intestinal transplants were performed since 1996 in 6 institutions. There were 22 deceased-donor and 13 living-donor transplants. The primary causes of intestinal transplants were short gut syndrome (n=15), intestinal mobility function disorder (n=15), retransplantation (n=4) and others (n=1). One-year patient survival was 90%, and 10-year patient survival was 56%. They were excellent results for a standard therapeutic option for intestinal failure if patients fail to maintain total parental nutrition.
