[Peptic pyloroduodenal strictures treated by endoscopic balloon dilation and eradication of helicobacter pylori. Results of a prospective study].
Endoscopic dilatation of pyloro-duodenal peptic stenosis is a safe and efficient procedure that constitutes an alternative choice to surgical management. Our aims is to evaluate efficiency of endoscopic balloon dilatation associated with Helicobacter pylori eradication. During a period of 3 years (January 1999-December 2001). 16 patients were included in this study. Successful endoscopic dilatation was obtained in 15 of them (93, 75%). No severe complications (perforations) happened. All patients were infected by Helicobacter pylori. The mean follow-up was 13 months. Endoscopic balloon dilatation associated with Helicobacter pylori eradication is a safe and efficient treatment of pyloro-duodenal peptic stenosis.
