[Home parenteral nutrition and intestinal transplantation in the intestinal failure].
Home parenteral nutrition is the primary treatment for intestinal failure. Intestinal transplantation is indicated when home parenteral nutrition fails or when there is a risk of death because of underlying disease. Survival after transplantation is related to the appropriateness of the indication and the timing of listing for transplantation.
