Core Tip	Timely diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) is critical to optimizing the outcomes of Kasai procedure (KP), which should be performed as early as possible. Children with a delayed diagnosis of BA at high risk of early KP failure or those presenting with clear evidence of decompensated cirrhosis should be considered for primary liver transplantation (LT). Early KP failure requiring salvage LT within the first 2-3 years of life occurs in nearly half of all children with BA but even those with a successful KP need life-long monitoring for progression of liver disease that may require salvage LT.
