Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network/Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients 2014 Data Report: Intestine.

In conclusion, annual case numbers of intestinal transplants have been decreasing, regardless of improved graft survival. ABO compatible intestinal transplants previously had a significantly lower graft survival rate than ABO identical transplants. However, the graft survival difference became less significant in recent years, possibly due to, or at least partly due to the use of new immunosuppressive agents.
