Abstract
Biliary atresia is an occlusive biliary disease involving intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Its etiology and pathogenesis are unclear. There are many manifestations of bile duct involvement in biliary atresia, but little is known about its occurrence and development. In addition, different classification methods have been proposed in different periods of biliary atresia, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The combined application of biliary atresia classification will help to improve the survival rate of patients with native liver. Therefore, this article reviews the development, pathological features, and classification of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts in biliary atresia, to provide a reference for the study of the pathogenesis and the choice of treatment methods.
