Abstract | Background: Liver transplant for biliary atresia (BA) has been reported to be associated with worse outcome, but this remains controversial. The objective of this study is to compare the outcomes of BA and non-BA recipients. Methods: Recipients with age <. 18. years were reviewed except cases of retransplantation. Intratransplant and posttransplant complications as well as survivals were evaluated. Results: 119 patients, with median follow-up period 8.5. years, were studied (DDLT = 33; LDLT = 86/M:F = 56:63), and 68% (n = 81) were BA patients. While demographic data were comparable between two groups of recipients, BA patients had a worse pretransplant PELD/MELD score (15.2 vs 4.0, p = 0.021). Transplantation takes a longer time in the BA group (580. min vs 400. min, p = 0.065) with more blood loss (720. ml vs 500. ml, p = 0.072). The incidence of transplant-related complications was 30.3% (36/119) (Table1). There was no significant difference between incidences of vascular complication, but biliary complication was more common in the BA group. Overall, the survivals between the two groups were comparable. Conclusions: Liver transplant is an effective surgical treatment for BA patients. When compared to other indications, results are not inferior. Previous Kasai operation is not necessarily associated with adverse outcomes. © 2015 Elsevier Inc. |
