Patient & Graft Survival Rates
We are committed to avoiding intestinal transplant if possible. Since the program began in 2003, about 90% of our patients have avoided transplant through intestinal rehabilitation. Of those patients, 95% no longer need feeding through a vein (total parenteral nutrition, or TPN). This spares them the cost and possible complications of TPN.
When a child needs an intestinal transplant, our patient survival rate (100%) is well above the national average of 86% at one year.
