Abstract
As a result of recent literature resports, there has been renewed interest in small- intestinal transplantation. Studies from both our own laboratory and others have shown that there has been increased survival following small-intestinal transplantation, particularly with the use of eyclosporine as an immunosuppressant. However, in reviewing the literature of long-term animal survivors, little work has been done in large animals to answer questions regarding absorptive function following small- intestinal transplantation.
This work was supported by grants from the Medical Research Council of Canada and the Lawrence and Elsie Pifko Foundation, Toronto, Canada.
