GRADED P NEUMATIC DILATATION WI THOUT FLUOROSCOPY IN THE T REATMENT OF ESOPHAGEAL ACHALASIA
Between 1993-1996 seventy-three consecutive patients (33 M, 40 F, mean age 35.4) with newly diagnosed achalasia underwent one or more pneumatic dilatations with the Rigiflex balloon using a protocol of graded dilatation with a fixed inflation pressure of 10 psi and constant duration of 30 seconds for all patients without using fluoroscopy. Using Vantrappen's classification for assessment of...
متن کاملCan esophageal dilation be avoided in the treatment of severe esophageal stricture caused by eosinophilic esophagitis?
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory immune-mediated disease with predominant eosinophilic inflammation characterized by the presence of esophageal dysfunction symptoms. Treatment delay can be associated with disease complications, like esophageal strictures, that can justify the use of invasive procedures which are not deprived of side effects. We present a case report of a 14 yea...
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...

متن کاملEndoscopic 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...
