During the last decade, biliary atresia (BA) has attained more interest and the frequency of BA-related publications has increased continuously. Pediatric hepatologists and pediatric surgeons are very active in improving diagnosis and treatment modalities of BA patients, in order to prolong the survival rate of their native liver. Together with transplant surgeons, the bridging of BA patients to liver transplantation (LTx) becomes optimized and as a consequence of this interdisciplinary approach, the overall survival of babies with BA has already reached 90%. Furthermore, basic research into the still unknown origin of BA has advanced, and numerous scientific programs have already linked together. The overriding interest is to discover at least BA's etiology and to turn the treatment of BA patients from a symptomatic to a causative approach. Interdisciplinary and international programs are mandatory and already existing initiatives in Europe, the United States and Japan are going to coordinate their registries, clinical trials and basic research studies for the benefit of the patients and solve the riddle of BA.
