All patients are discussed at the National Adult Intestinal Transplantation Forum (NASIT) and indications for transplantation agreed prior to listing. We present the indications for intestinal and multivisceral transplantation in patients referred to our unit over the last 8 years.Method A prospectively maintained database records the indications for all patients listed for intestinal and multivisceral transplantation. This database was used to identify indications for patients transplanted between January 2006 and December 2014. NASIT and International Transplant Registry indications were reviewed.Results 56 transplant procedures were performed on 50 patients - 27 (48%) multivisceral (MV); 6 (11%) liver/small intestine (LSB); 8 (14%) modified multivisceral and 15 (27%) small intestine. 6 patients were re-transplanted due to acute cellular rejection not amenable to medical therapy (n = 3), intestinal graft ischaemia (n = 2) and primary non-functioning liver graft (n = 1). The predominant NASIT indications for transplantation were intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFALD) (29%); need for multi-organ transplant (liver with portomesenteric venous thrombosis) (20%); loss of venous access for HPN (14%); widespread mesenteric arterial insufficiency (11%); FAP/desmoids (5%); catheter-related blood stream infections (5%) and acute cellular rejection (5%). 54% of patients had short bowel, the causes of which were ischaemia (57%), Crohn’s disease (27%), volvulus (3%), trauma (3%) and other (10%).Conclusion Cambridge is the only UK centre performing adult multivisceral transplants. IFALD remains the predominant indication for multivisceral transplantation but the number of referrals for this indication is not increasing year on year. This may reflect improved management of patients with Type 3 intestinal failure on home parenteral nutrition, with a focus on quality outcomes and reducing complications. We have observed an increase in patients referred with portomesenteric venous thrombosis which precludes an isolated liver graft. Subsequently we have performed more MV or LSB transplants over the last 2 years in a group of patients with multiple co-morbidities, whose management is more complex. Another emerging indication is widespread mesenteric arterial insufficiency, resulting in 5 urgent transplants during the last 2 years (6 in total). Treatment options for these patients have been very limited in the past and MV transplantation offers a potential new management strategy.Disclosure of interest None Declared.
