Transnasal balloon catheter dilation is a safe and effective treatment for esophageal strictures, offering high success rates in resolving dysphagia. This minimally invasive procedure demonstrates significant clinical success across various stricture causes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Esophageal strictures cause dysphagia, impacting quality of life.
  • Traditional dilation methods may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transnasal balloon catheter dilation for esophageal strictures.
  • To determine success rates and complication profiles.

Main Methods:

  • 170 transnasal balloon catheter dilation procedures were performed.
  • 35 patients with esophageal strictures were included.
  • Average of five dilations per patient were required.

Main Results:

  • Success rates ranged from 67% to 87%, defined by resolution of dysphagia.

  • Three complications (perforations) occurred; one required surgical repair.
  • No procedure-related deaths were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transnasal balloon catheter dilation is a safe and effective treatment for diverse esophageal strictures.
    • The procedure achieves a high degree of clinical success in managing dysphagia.
