Abstract

The preliminary experience of the first Italian program of pediatric intestinal transplantation is presented herein. A multidisciplinary group with broad experience in pediatric solid organ transplantation started the program. Nine children with complications of chronic intestinal failure were listed for transplantation. One child died on the waiting list; one received an isolated liver transplantation; three isolated intestinal; three multivisceral; and one, a combined liver/intestine transplantation. There was no in-hospital mortality, and all children were weaned from parenteral nutrition. The recipient of the multivisceral graft died after 14 months for unknown causes. All other recipients are alive after a median follow-up of 13 months. Patient and graft actuarial survivals for recipients of intestinal grafts were 100% at 1 year and 75% at 2 years.
