Abstract
- Biliary atresia is a newborn cholangiopathy that may lead to portopulmonary hypertension and cirrhosis-induced cardiomyopathy while awaiting liver transplantation. Extracorporeal life support and hepatic toxin filtration are life-saving interventions that provide cardiopulmonary support and hepatic dialysis to allow resolution of a child's illness. We utilized a combination of these extreme measures to bridge an infant with biliary atresia to transplantation. We reviewed cases of extracorporeal life support utilization in transplantation recipients in the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization database and determined that ours was the only use of pretransplant extracorporeal life support in biliary atresia.
