| Abstract | BA is a progressive and diffuse extra-hepatic bile duct and fibro-obliterative disease, with different commitment of intrahepatic bile duct, which despite early Kasai Technique derivation, often ends up requiring transplant [5-7] in a short or a long term. It has been reported that patients with BA would have a worse clinical condition at OLT compared to receptors for other etiologies [8] associated with a higher technical difficulty, being surgery on a previously intervened anatomy, which would produce greater perioperative morbidity [9-12]. There are few studies that compare the outcomes of liver transplantation according to etiology [13,14].In a recently published series by Chung et al, in which 119 patients operated were analyzed retrospectively at a single center, it is called into question that the group of patients with BA have a worse prognosis, presenting similar results post BA transplantation, compared to other etiologies [15]. |
