Abstract
In pediatric patients who undergo heart transplantation, severe immune-mediated bowel disease has been reported. Management is complex, and there are little data discussing the use of basiliximab for immune-mediated bowel disease. This case report discusses a pediatric patient who developed immune-mediated bowel disease following heart transplantation and was successfully managed with basiliximab.
