Long-term survival in visceral transplant recipients in the new era: A single-center experience
American Journal of Transplantation Mar 30, 2019
Elsabbagh AM, et al. - In this single-center retrospective analysis, visceral allograft recipients who underwent transplant between November 2003 and December 2013 were studied to assess the long-term survival in visceral transplant recipients ie, isolated intestinal transplant (56.3%), combined liver-intestinal transplant (25.3%), multivisceral transplant (16.1%), and modified multivisceral transplant (2.3%). They noted 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall patient survival, 69.5%, 66%, and 63%, respectively and 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall graft survival of 67%, 62%, and 61%, respectively. They recorded significant predictors of survival like pediatric recipient, donor/recipient weight ratio <0.9, no episodes of severe acute rejection, cold ischemia time <8 hours, and shorter hospital stay. They concluded visceral transplantation a good option for the treatment of end-stage intestinal failure with parenteral nutritional complications.
