Outcome After Intestinal Transplantation From Living Versus Deceased Donors: A Propensity-matched Cohort Analysis of the International Intestinal Transplant Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the worldwide experience with living donation (LD) in intestinal transplantation (ITx) and compare short-term and long-term outcomes to a propensity-matched cohort of deceased donors.

Background

ITx is a rare life-saving procedure for patients with complicated intestinal failure (IF). Living donation (LD)-ITx has been performed with success, but no direct comparison with deceased donation (DD) has been performed. The Intestinal Transplant Registry (ITR) was created in 1985 by the Intestinal Transplant Association to capture the worldwide activity and promote center's collaborations.

Methods

Based on the ITR, 4156 ITx were performed between January 1987 and April 2019, of which 76 (1.8%) were LD, including 5 combined liver-ITx, 7 ITx-colon, and 64
