title: Home parenteral nutrition program and referral of potential candidates for intestinal and multivisceral transplantation in a single Brazilian center.
abstract: Intestinal failure is a multifaceted condition that may require high-complexity treatment and a multidisciplinary program, including home parenteral nutrition therapy (HPNT) and intestinal transplantation. In this article, we profile a Brazilian single-center experience with 128 cases of HTPN followed for the last 30 years and appraise the referral for potential intestinal and multivisceral transplantation.
