Approaches to Biliary Atresia Care 12.1.2023

Friday, December 1, 2023, 8:30 AM - 11:15 AM, Globalcast


We will highlight recent research and patient management approaches that have improved biliary atresia care at our center during this interactive event designed for pediatric gastroenterologists, hepatologists and pediatric surgeons. Our Faculty will discuss collaborative medical-surgical management of the post-kasai patient and customized post-kasai medication protocols: methods which have resulted in post-kasai native liver survival of 92% over 2 years, and 100% over the last 10 procedures. We present data on increased likelihood of unpalliated and late diagnosis biliary atresia among non-white patients, approaches to improve early diagnosis across all populations, and controversies in surgical management among patients with late diagnoses. Please join us in the discussion of paradigms in care to improve outcomes for children with biliary atresia across the US and beyond. 

1. Apply a set of diagnostic tests available in his/her clinical practice to rapidly distinguish biliary atresia from other causes of neonatal jaundice.
2. Explain the emerging framework of the pathogenesis of biliary atresia and how racial inequities may affect surgical outcomes and survival with the native liver.
3. Describe how surgical techniques and multidisciplinary care can improve biliary drainage after Kasai portoenterostomy, thus avoiding rapid progression of liver disease.
