In such cases, redo-PE was performed to salvage patients following PE failure. PE remains...

The purpose of this study was to determine the success rate and outcome for patients who underwent a "late" ...
متن کاملNumber of cholangitis episodes as a prognostic marker to predict timing of liver transplantation in biliary atresia patients after Kasai portoenterostomy
BACKGROUND Cholangitis may affect liver failure of biliary atresia (BA) patients after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP). We examined whether the number of cholangitis episodes could be a prognostic marker for liver transplant (LT) in children with BA after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP). METHODS Data for BA patients born after 1998 and undergoing KP were obtained from National Health Insurance Resear...
