Abstract
Ductal plate malformation, a term given to intrahepatic bile ducts that retain the fetal configuration, is observed in some cases of biliary atresia. We examined 21 livers from patients with biliary atresia; ductal plate malformation occurred in 38% of cases, and its presence was predictive of poor clinical outcome (P =.04).
