ABSTRACT
Objective To report the results of balloon catheter dilation in 13 infants with anastomotic stenosis after surgical correction of esophageal atresia. Methods Thirteen cases of anastomotic stenosis after surgical correction of esophageal atresia were enrolled, age ranging from 3 to 10 years. Barium esophagography before balloon dilation showed the diameter of esophageal stenosis ranging 1 to 3 mm and the stenosis was dilated by using balloons of 6 to 12 mm diameter. Results All the 13 cases obtained complete resolution of the stenosis after dilation for twice or thrice. There was no esophageal perforation or other complications with a period of clinical symptomless of 6 to 30 months. Conclusions Ballon catheter dilation is a simple, safe and reliable method for treating anastomotic esophageal stenosis in infants.
