It remains on the continuum of care for pediatric patients with intestinal failure, but bowel transplant rates have declined worldwide over the last 6 years, in large part due to the development of multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation programs and the control of progressive cholestatic liver disease with novel lipid-based management strategies. With improved clinical outcomes of pediatric patients with intestinal failure, there is increasing evidence that the current indications for bowel transplantation no longer apply and need revision.	./cache/cord-006343-c0amee70.txt	./txt/cord-006343-c0amee70.txt
