“…As shown in Table 2, experienced gastroenterologists using a conservative approach to esophageal dilation report only three esophageal perforations. This rate of (0.4%) is not dissimilar to that quoted for standard endoscopy with dilation in non-EoE patients (55).…”

“…At present, after 9 dilatations, the patient's esophageal diameter improved to 11 mm and his state improved to grade 6 on the FOIS. However, Egan et al [10] reported that dilations of the esophageal diameter from 1.3 to 2.0 mm can provide relief in 85%-93% of patients with dysphagia. However, this study was conducted in the United States based on the reference data of this country and these results may differ in Korean individuals due to the different body types and dietary habits.…”

Balloon Dilatation for an Esophageal Stricture by Long-Term Use of a Nasogastric Tube: A Case Report

et al. 2014

In the present report, we describe a case of long-term follow-up esophageal stricture occurring in a patient with nasogastric tube use. A 63-year-old man who had experienced dislocation of the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae as the result of an external injury received treatment at another hospital and was admitted to the rehabilitation department of our hospital. After he exhibited normal swallowing in a videofluoroscopic swallowing test, the nasogastric tube was removed and oral feeding with a dysphagia diet was initiated. However, during oral feeding, the patient complained of swallowing difficulties in his lower throat. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed to examine the lesions below the pharynx and a 2-mm stricture was observed. A balloon dilatation was performed for a total of 9 times to extend the stricture. After the procedure, the patient was able to easily swallow a normal diet through the esophagus and the vomiting symptoms disappeared. An esophagography showed that the diameter of the esophageal stricture was 11 mm.

“…There is evidence that standards in gastrointestinal endoscopy are less than ideal and that training is inconsistent [13,14]. Both the UK and US national societies have issued guidelines on many therapeutic procedures, including esophageal stricture dilatation [4,15], and for training in gastrointestinal endoscopy [16,17]. Evidence shows that training and experience has a large impact on the outcome of esophageal stricture dilatation, yet it is difficult for trainees to gain experience.…”
