“…The review by O'Neill et al [17] noted an 84% success rate for oral extraction, whereas 16% were passed into the stomach and later passed uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract. Successful balloon extraction was obtained in 85% to 98% of children in combined series of 769 patients, without complications [11,12,16,18,19]. Another review of 302 consecutive children with impacted esophageal coins noted a success rate of 93% without fluoroscopic control [20].…”

“…The Foley catheter is a versatile tool that has found multiple uses in addition to its primary use as an indwelling urinary catheter. With respect to foreign body retrieval, literature reviews have been written detailing the well-known use of Foley catheters to remove foreign bodies such as coins from the esophagus, with one such literature review of ten years of attempted coin extractions with a Foley catheter yielding a 96% success rate in 337 cases with no complications [11]. Nasal foreign body removal has been described in case reports and the literature with a Foley catheter [12], with more specialized proprietary Foley catheterbased technologies available.…”

The swallowed or aspirated foreign body is a common pediatric emergency medicine complaint for which emergency providers must be familiar with the intricacies of management. Most swallowed foreign bodies will harmlessly pass through the GI tract, but children with GI tract abnormalities may have an increased risk of object impaction. There are few reported cases of foreign object ingestion in children with GI tract abnormalities, specifically ostomies. The Foley catheter is a versatile tool that is easily accessible in the ED setting. We present a novel case of foreign body ingestion in an infant with a colostomy secondary to Hirschsprung’s disease managed with Foley catheter retrieval through an ileostomy stoma. A 17-month-old infant presented to the ED with a chief complaint of an episode of bloody vomiting. He had a two-day history of increased irritability and intolerance of feeds with emesis after every feed. The child’s medical history is pertinent for Hirschsprung’s disease, for which the patient had a pull-through procedure shortly after birth and a revision of the pull-through. On physical examination, the patient’s ostomy was found to contain brown-green liquid stool. A small ovular mass was visualized at the stoma during crying episodes. Supine posteroanterior radiograph of the abdomen showed an oval-shaped radiolucency consistent with a metallic ingested foreign body at the site of the stoma. The foreign object was removed using a Foley catheter and forceps and was found to be a penny. The patient was observed and discharged without complications later that day. Treatment of a symptomatic ingested foreign object requires careful consideration of the type of object present and its location in the body. In this case report, we discussed the removal of an ingested coin in a symptomatic 17-month-old infant with a history of ileostomy secondary to Hirschsprung's disease using a Foley catheter. In children with ostomies, prompt imaging and non-surgical removal may be an option to manage retrieval of these objects if the patient is stable and symptoms are not severe.

“…This was an experimental model encouraged by the owner's interest in the patient's life, despite his lack of resources. However, there are reports on the use of Foley catheters for extraction of foreign bodies in children (27).…”

Dilatación de estenosis esofágica proximal con balón guiado por endoscopia y radiografía en potro falabella

et al. 2015

Las estenosis esofágicas son causadas, generalmente, por necrosis, consecuencia de la presión ejercida por impacciones esofágicas que erosionan y ulceran la mucosa esofágica, además de las lesiones causadas por la ingestión oral de agentes corrosivos, el trauma cervical y las estenosis congénitas. Los procedimientos de dilataciones esofágicas se han utilizado en pequeños animales y en humanos para el tratamiento de estenosis; pero son escasamente utilizados en caballos, debido a la cantidad de sesiones que se requieren para obtener el éxito y a la escasa información publicada al respecto. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la efectividad de la dilatación esofágica con balón guiado por endoscopia y radiografía en un potro falabella con estenosis esofágica mural, producto de una obstrucción. El resultado fue exitoso, pues el animal, después de cinco sesiones seguidas de dilataciones, toleró la vía oral para alimentos sólidos y así fue sometido a observación durante seis meses, sin complicaciones evidentes.
