Balloon Dilation Methods for Benign Esophageal Stricture

NCT04730076 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is the first head to head, prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing two different approaches of balloon dilation (standard versus progressive dilation) for benign esophageal strictures. A retrospective study on patients with benign esophageal strictures that underwent balloon dilation using the proposed technique found considerable symptomatic improvement in dysphagia. The proposed balloon dilation method is a novel approach that will require fewer sessions of dilation and use fewer balloon dilation catheters to achieve a maximum balloon diameter of 18mm and result in a significant symptomatic improvement.

Conditions

  • Esophageal Stricture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Standard Balloon Dilation

The standard approach involves a gradual balloon dilation where the balloon is inflated then held at each balloon size for 30-60 seconds then inflated to the next largest balloon diameter size and repeated to the maximum diameter size of that catheter. The dilation session will be repeated as frequently and as many times as needed to achieve the balloon diameter size of 18mm at the discretion of the endoscopist.

PROCEDURE

Progressive Balloon Dilation

In the progressive approach, the balloon is continuously inflated over the course of 3-5 minutes starting at the smallest to the largest balloon diameter depending of the balloon catheter used. The dilation will be repeated every 2-3 weeks (total of 2-3 sessions). At the next endoscopic procedure, the balloon diameter used will be the next size up based on previous session.
