To summarize our experience using Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) of the liver as an imaging tool for pre-living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) evaluation in biliary atresia (BA) patients. This pictorial review will illustrate and discuss several aspects of imaging techniques and the important findings that clinician need to know before LDLT.

Key imaging findings for vascular anatomy/collateral vessels will be made, emphasizing what clinicians need to know. Correlation with intraoperative findings will also be provided.

Biliary atresia is a progressive, fibro-obliterative disease of the intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts in infancy. This exhibit outlines the pathophysiology, diagnostic pathways, and current and emerging management strategies for biliary atresia in the pediatric age group. Read More

The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of applications of Eovist in the pediatric population, as well as pitfalls. We will begin with an introduction on the origins of Eovist and how it and other hepatocyte specific contrast agents (HSCAs) differ from conventional gadolinium based contrast agents (GBCAs). We will then provide a sample of imaging protocols when Eovist is used for hepatic mass evaluation and for biliary indications. We will review benefits of Eovist in characterizing a variety of pediatric hepatic neoplasms, including hepatoblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatic adenomas, and regenerative nodules, with mention of pathologies that do not follow traditional patterns (i.e., inflammatory adenomas). After this, we will cover biliary applications, including choledochal cysts, biliary obstruction, and postoperative bile leak. Finally, we will review some limitations of Eovist; notably, we will mention several scenarios where the hepatobiliary phase could not be achieved, and recommendations for how to approach these cases.

Final Pr. ID: Poster #: EDU-020

The aim of this exhibit is to review imaging findings of neonatal biliary disease, with emphasis on biliary atresia and conditions of surgical interest. We will present a series of cases on cholestatic diseases encountered in the neonatal period and multi-modality approach to imaging these patients.

Biliary stenosis continues to be an important source of morbidity in pediatric liver transplantation. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) with cholangioplasty and placement of an internal/external biliary drainage catheter has been the standard of care for biliary stenosis at our institution for over twenty years. The purpose of this article is to present the largest and most comprehensive pediatric series to date detailing the percutaneous management of liver transplants complicated by biliary stenosis.

Ninety percent of biliary atresia cases occur with no associated anomalies. Ten percent of cases of biliary atresia are considered syndromic, occurring in association with a variety of congenital anomalies including heterotaxy, polysplenia, asplenia, congenital cardiac defects, intestinal malrotation, interrupted IVC, hepatic artery anomalies, and portal vein anomalies, including pre-duodenal portal vein. The incidence of hepatopulmonary syndrome is also increased in this group. Images from CT, MR, radiography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and fluoroscopy will illustrate the variety of imaging appearances of the biliary atresia/splenic malformation syndrome. Read More

the aim of the study is to report the importance of the link between intracranial bleeding (ICB) and biliary atresia in neonates. Nowadays, the incidence of bleeding secondary to vitamin K deficiency has well-decreased, thanks to systematic vitamin K prophylaxis in neonates. However, ICB remains a severe complication of Vitamine K deficiency, with a high mortality rate and possible neurological disabilities.
Biliary atresia (BA) is a life-threatening condition in neonates, commonly diagnosed in the first 2 months of life, based on jaundice, cholestasis, pale-colored stools and dark urine. Occasionally, BA can be revealed later (25 to 65 days after birth), with severe symptoms such as intracranial, nasal or gastrointestinal bleedings.
