]]> Patient Information About Biliary Atresia Biliary atresia is a condition in which inflammation develops within the bile ducts around the time of birth. The inflammation can occur in any of the bile ducts both inside and outside of the liver. This leads to bile duct damage and reduces the flow of bile which subsequently causes scarring (fibrosis or cirrhosis) of the liver. http://www.pediatriconcall.com//fordoctor/DiseasesandCondition/hepatobiliary_disorders/biliaryArt.asp 2007-05-01T00:00:00.0000000-07:00 Biliary atresia Biliary Atresia Operation Type Figure 1 Biliary Atresia Operation Type Figure 2
