Catheter therapy has gained an important role in the treatment of congenital heart disease. The cumulative experience with vascular and valvular balloon dilations has demonstrated low mortality and morbidity with short-term results similar to surgery. Currently, balloon dilation is an accepted treatment for valvular pulmonary stenosis, distal pulmonary

Balloon Dilatation of the Prostate
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1990It is important to be objective in selecting candidates for this procedure and in evaluating their outcome. The size of the prostate does not seem to be relevant. Alpha blockers and balloons still produce unpredictable results, and neither alternative duplicates the results of transurethral resection.

Balloon dilatation of urethral strictures
Urologic radiology, 1981Postinflammatory 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 Sinuses
Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 2012Having demonstrated clinical efficacy in cardiology, urology, and ophthalmology, balloon catheters were adapted for the paranasal sinuses in the early 2000s, highlighted by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the first Acclarent balloon catheter device in 2005 (Acclarent Inc). In the ensuing years, multiple devices have been developed and

Balloon Dilatation of Esophageal Strictures
Australasian Radiology, 1990ABSTRACTThe Gruntzig balloon dilatation catheter is an invaluable tool for the dilatation of long and narrow oesophageal strictures which are not amenable to other forms of dilatation. We present our experience of 43 dilatations of oesophageal strictures in 14 patients without any significant complications.

Balloon Dilatation of Anastomotic Strictures
Archives of Surgery, 1988Our 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).

Naso-lacrimal duct balloon dilatation
Clinical Radiology, 1994During a 30 month period (June 1991 to December 1993) 22 stenosed naso-lacrimal ducts in 18 patients were treated by balloon dilatation. A technical success rate of 86% was achieved, and the clinical success rate was 68%, in terms of either completely relieving or greatly improving the patients' symptoms of epiphora.

Histopathology of balloon‐dilation eustachian tuboplasty
The Laryngoscope, 2014Objectives/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 ...

Balloon Dilation Eustachian Tuboplasty
Otology & Neurotology, 2010To assess the feasibility and safety of balloon dilation Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) as an option for treatment of patients with Eustachian tube dysfunction.A cadaveric study of 5 temporal human bones was performed. Each bone underwent transnasal balloon dilation Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) with computed tomography and post-dilation histology.
