Retrograde dilation of esophageal strictures with balloon dilators

Surgical Endoscopy, 1991
Balloon dilators may be safely applied for retrograde dilation of esophageal strictures without the use of fluoroscopy or a pressure-gauge attachment. The turgidity of the dilating balloon is preferred to that of other materials such as polyvinyl, rubber, or metal.

Balloon Dilatation of Anastomotic Strictures

Archives of Surgery, 1988
Our experience with balloon dilatation of postoperative anastomotic strictures is reported herein. Six patients with strictures not responsive or accessible to standard bougie techniques were selected for balloon dilatation. A guidewire was passed through the stricture with an endoscope (four patients) or with fluoroscopic guidance alone (two patients).

Balloon dilatation of urethral strictures

Urologic radiology, 1981
Postinflammatory and posttraumatic urethral strictures present a significant clinical problem. Conventional dilatation techniques are usually associated with recurrence and aggravation of the strictures. This is attributed to the mucosal and periurethral trauma associated with conventional dilatation methods.

Balloon Dilation of the Ureter for Ureteroscopy

Journal of Urology, 1988
Balloon dilation catheters have been used extensively for percutaneous transluminal dilation of vascular narrowings. A recent urological application has been the use of a balloon to dilate acutely the normal ureteral orifice and intramural ureter for the purpose of performing transurethral ureteroscopy.

Balloon Dilatation versus Amplatz Dilatation for Nephrostomy Tract Dilatation

Journal of Endourology, 2008
In this study, we present our experience using balloon and Amplatz dilatation to establish a percutaneous tract. We also discuss advantages and risk factors of both techniques.We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 229 patients who had undergone 235 percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures. The nephrostomy tract had been dilated using a balloon (

Balloon Dilation of the Cartilaginous Eustachian Tube

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2011
Objectives(1) To translate techniques developed in a previous cadaver study of balloon dilation of the cartilaginous eustachian tube (ET) into clinical treatment for refractory dilatory dysfunction and (2) to study the safety/efficacy of the technique in a pilot clinical trial.Study DesignProspective with subjects as their own historical controls since

Balloon Dilation of the Sphincter of Oddi

Endoscopy, 1988
No controlled studies document either clinical or biochemical efficacy following balloon dilation of the sphincter of Oddi. Because of this and the unacceptable rates of pancreatitis and cholangitis associated with sphincter dilation when compared with the other available modalities of sphincterotomy, stent placement and surgery, this technology ...

Histopathology of balloon‐dilation eustachian tuboplasty

The Laryngoscope, 2014
Objectives/HypothesisSurgical intervention of the Eustachian tube (ET) has become increasingly common in the past decade, and balloon dilation has shown promising results in recent studies. It is unclear how balloon dilation enhances ET function. Our aim was to evaluate histological changes in the ET's mucosal lumen comparing before balloon dilation ...
