Abstract
- The critical shortage of size-matched donor organs for infants and small children in need of combined liver and intestinal transplantation has lead to long waiting times and a high risk of dying before transplantation. Utilizing grafts from larger donors could alleviate this problem, but using larger composite grafts in small children has been challenging and unsuccessful in the past.
