TREATING OESOPHAGEAL ACHALASIA
Abstract
The paper describes experience of 67 cases of endoscopic treatment for oesophageal achalasia: X-ray-guided balloon dilatation. The authors used a high pressure balloon of 30-35 mm in diameter to mount in cardia and fill with radiographic contrast medium for 15-30 minutes. Depending on the degree of oesophageal achalasia, 2 to 5 procedures were required to achieve stable positive effects kept during 1-2 years and more. The authors did not observe any complications and lethal outcomes.
