One hundred seventy transnasal balloon catheter dilation procedures were performed in 35 patients with esophageal strictures to assess the efficacy and safety of the procedure. On the average, five dilations were required per patient. Depending on the cause of the esophageal stricture, success rates for the technique ranged from 67% to 87%, with success defined as the resolution of dysphagia to both fluids and solids. Three complications, all perforations, were seen; one perforation required surgical repair. No procedure-related deaths were identified in this series. Balloon catheter dilation can be safely applied to esophageal strictures from a variety of causes, with a high degree of clinical success.
对35例食管狭窄患者进行了170次经鼻球囊导管扩张术，以评估该手术的有效性和安全性。平均每位患者需要进行5次扩张。根据食管狭窄的病因，该技术的成功率在67%至87%之间，成功定义为吞咽液体和固体食物时吞咽困难症状消失。观察到3例并发症，均为穿孔；其中1例穿孔需要手术修复。本系列研究中未发现与手术相关的死亡病例。球囊导管扩张术可安全应用于各种原因引起的食管狭窄，临床成功率较高。
