Summary:We performed 29 fuluoroscopically guided baloon dilatation procedures in 12 patients with upper gastrointestinal strictures. Except for esophago-tracheal-fistula which occurred in one patient with baloon dilatation for esophageal stricture after radiation therapy, no other complications were observed. This procedure is safe and effective for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal stricture. Therefore we thought these manners were available and safe IVR (Interventional Radiology) procedures in upper gastrointestinal tract stricture.
