Intestinal failure is not a disease as far as I know, however malfunctions in the different sections of the intestines can lead to death. There are malabsorption syndromes which will lead to death (in the same way that malnutrition can cause death) if nutrients are not introduced by another route (IV). Intestinal obstruction and strangulation can cause death as well.
