Endoscopic Balloon Dilatation of Benign Esophageal Stricture—A Nonhazardous Procedure?
Balloon dilatation of benign esophageal strictures has been widely used since its introduction. We have performed 224 dilatation procedures in 52 patients. Dilatation was done as an outpatient procedure. Strictures were due to reflux esophagitis in 25 patients, anastomatic stenosis in 6, achalasia in 5, complications of sclerotherapy in 5, corrosive lesions in 3, and long-standing nasogastric i...
متن کاملClinical value of preventive balloon dilatation for esophageal stricture
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) were developed for the treatment of benign lesions and early superficial esophageal cancers in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, esophageal strictures frequently develop in patients who undergo EMR/ESD. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical value of preventive balloon dilatation (BD) for esophageal d...

opting out would negate much of the enterprise. The public must be told repeatedly about the likely consequences of the proposals, and the BMA council has launched this exercise. And negotiation must take place-and on equal terms, with flexibility and without the duress of a short timetable which owes more to political expediency than to the issues at stake. In the negotiations the BMA and the ...
متن کاملVisibility of Balloon Dilatation Catheters
In this study, an easy to use measurement method was developed to quantify the balloon dilatation catheters visibility, thus making them comparable. The visibility of the distal and proximal markers and the balloon (average values of the markers) was determined for fourteen balloons of the same type and material, but different lengths and diameters. Repeatability of these values was tested by o...
متن کاملProspective evaluation of an indwelling esophageal balloon dilatation feeding tube for treatment of benign esophageal strictures in dogs and cats
BACKGROUND Despite multiple dilatation procedures, benign esophageal strictures (BES) remain a recurring cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs and cats. OBJECTIVE Investigate the use of an indwelling Balloon Dilatation esophagostomy tube (B-Tube) for treatment of BES in dogs and cats. ANIMALS Nine dogs and 3 cats. METHODS Animals with BES were recruited for our prospective study. Endos...
