Intestinal Transplantation in Children: Experience of a Single Center in Paris

  • Conference paper
Current Issues in Liver and Small Bowel Transplantation

Abstract

Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has become an alternative for patients with permanent intestinal failure who are dependent on parenteral nutrition (PN) [1], Our center has been involved in the management of pediatric patients with intestinal failure for a long time. After developing a home PN program [2, 3], we started ITx in 1987 using cyclosporine [4]. One of our earliest patients still survives with a fully functioning graft 12 years later [5]. With the development of FK506 (tacrolimus) in the early 1990s [6], we restarted our ITx program. We now report the results of the largest current European series of consecutive intestinal transplantations in pediatric patients at the Necker-Enfants Malades University Hospital in Paris.
