Patients requiring Intestinal Transplant (IT) either alone or in combination with liver/stomach/pancreas/colon can have a diverse range of primary pathology. Their indication can vary from loss of vascular access and recurrent line infections to end stage liver disease with or without porto-mesenteric vein thrombosis or extensive tumors such as desmoids.
Transplant surgeons and physicians working closely with radiologists are a crucial part of an IT service. Diagnostic imaging and interventions can provide non-transplant treatment options, facilitate transplantation, and treat post-operative complications.
