Immunosuppression in Visceral Transplantation: Current Trends and Future Perspectives

Visceral transplant represents an immunologic challenge due to high intestinal graft immunogenicity. Over the last 20 years, significant advances in immunosuppression regimens have resulted in excellent short-term outcomes. Currently, visceral transplant is the standard of care for patients with gut failure having life-threatening complications and complex abdominal pathology. In this review, we describe immunosuppressive strategies in the visceral transplant field.
