Abstract

This case report describes a patient with an unusual type of biliary atresia that precluded the Kasai operation but who survived for 2 years and 6 months with percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD) and was successfully bridged to liver transplantation. PTCD is recommended when there is no bile excretion after a Kasai operation.
