Endoscopic pneumatic balloon dilatation for achalasia of the cardia.
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic pneumatic balloon dilatation as the initial treatment for achalasia of the cardia. 15 patients with achalasia underwent a total of 19 dilatations using the new polyethylene dilator (Microvasive Rigiflex Balloon Dilator) over the last 6 years. An overall treatment success rate of 93% was achieved. 11 patients (73.3%) have not required a ...

measures best adapted for its relief. The condition may be produced either by an obstruction at the pylorus to the expulsion of the gastric contents, or by morbid changes in the muscular walls of the stomach without pyloric obstruction. Stenosis of the pylorus is most commonly due to cancer, but may also be produced by simple fibrous stricture, or by the cicatricial contraction resulting from t...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of hydrostatic balloon dilatation of ileocolonic Crohn's strictures: a prospective longterm analysis.
Preliminary reports have suggested that dilatation using hydrostatic through the scope balloons may be useful for the treatment of Crohn's strictures, A prospective longterm follow up (mean (SD) 33.6 (11.2) months) was carried out in 55 Crohn's patients with 59 ileocolonic strictures submitted to 78 dilatation procedures. Hydrostatic balloons were used (Rigiflator, Microvasive) with a diameter ...
متن کاملPneumatic dilatation in achalasia.
To assess the value of pneumatic dilatation of the cardia, 63 patients with achalasia have undergone a total of 107 Rider-Moeller dilatations over the last six years. There was a marked improvement in swallowing immediately after dilatation in all but two patients, there were no deaths attributable to the procedure and serious complications were rare (1.6% of patients). The first 50 cases have ...
متن کاملCan Achalasia Subtyping by High-Resolution Manometry Predict the Therapeutic Outcome of Pneumatic Balloon Dilatation?
TO THE EDITOR: I read with great interest the paper entitled “Achalasia cardia subtyping by high-resolution manometry predicts the therapeutic outcome of pneumatic balloon dilatation” by Pratap et al, which was published in January 2011 issue of Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility. Achalasia is the best known primary esophageal motility disorder characterized by absent peristalsis of ...
