title: [Dilatation of esophageal strictures with balloon catheter. Safety and effectiveness of balloon dilatation].
abstract: Radioscopically-guided balloon dilation of esophageal stenosis is an effective and easily performed palliative procedure. Our experience with balloon dilation of esophageal stenosis in 12 patients was reviewed. Every patient underwent 2-5 sessions. Dysphagia disappeared completely in 2 patients. Ten patients had significant improvement. No case of esophageal perforation occurred during balloon dilation.
