Intestinal transplants: a rapid literature scan

English
Authors' recommendations:
Currently ITx is only recommended in those patients with total irreversible IF who can no longer be maintained on TPN. Because of the risks associated with the treatment, transplants are not recommended for quality of life reasons alone. Given the paucity of data, this approach appears to be appropriate.
