    Transluminal esophagus plastica (TE) using Grüntzig balloon catheters effectively dilates esophageal stenosis. This minimally invasive procedure offers significant benefits, including reduced dysphagia with low risk and good patient tolerance.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Interventional Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Esophageal stenosis presents a significant challenge in gastroenterology.
    • Traditional treatments for esophageal narrowing can be invasive and carry risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transluminal esophagus plastica (TE) for treating esophageal stenosis.
    • To assess the benefits of Grüntzig balloon catheter dilation in managing severe esophageal narrowing.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 9 cases of esophageal stenosis treated with Grüntzig balloon catheters.
    • Fluoroscopic guidance was employed during the transluminal esophagus plastica procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Successful dilation of severe esophageal narrowing was achieved in all cases.

  • Patients experienced a reduction or complete disappearance of dysphagia.
  • The procedure demonstrated low risk, ease of performance, and good patient tolerance.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transluminal esophagus plastica (TE) is a safe and effective method for dilating esophageal stenosis.
    • Grüntzig balloon catheter dilation offers significant advantages over traditional methods for managing esophageal narrowing.
    • The procedure is well-tolerated and leads to improved swallowing function.
