Primary biliary cirrhosis after aortoiliac reconstruction surgery using a Y-graft.
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease characterized by anti-mitochondrial antibodies and destruction of intra-hepatic bile ducts. Though little is known about the etiology of PBC, some reports suggest that xenobiotics and viral infections may induce PBC. We describe a case of PBC after the aortoiliac reconstruction surgery using a Y-graft.
