“Chronic intestinal failure (CIF) is a rare but feared severe complication of
Crohn’s disease, with 60% of patients permanently dependent on parenteral nutrition.
This review aims to summarize the knowledge available in the current literature
describing recent advances in the management and treatment of adult patients with
CIF, with emphasis on patients with Crohn’s disease. Moreover, it aims to further
understanding of modern approaches to CIF complications such as catheter-related
bloodstream infections and intestinal failure-associated liver disease.”
