Isolated intestinal transplantation: The entire jejunum and ileum is transplanted with or without the colon maintaining as much functional native bowel as possible. The arterial inflow is through an anastomosis between the graft superior mesenteric artery and the native aorta whereas the venous drainage is established into the inferior vena cava or the mesenteric portal system (as shown) through the graft superior mesenteric vein (transplanted organs are shaded).
