Long-term function and morphology of intestinal allografts in outbred canine transplantation model

The outcome of small bowel transplantation (SBTx) has improved during the last 10 years1; however, information on function and morphology of intestinal allografts long term after SBTx is limited.2 Using canine allo-SBTx model, this study investigated the absorption, motility, and histopathology of long-surviving intestinal allografts.
