Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology"
DOI: 10.1002/lio2.734
Abstract: It is well known that benign tracheal stenosis represents an obstacle to open surgery, and that its treatment could be challenging. Two endoscopic techniques have so far been adopted to restore tracheal patency: balloon dilatation… read more here.

In Vitro Quantification of Luminal Denudation After Crimping and Balloon Dilatation of Endothelialized Covered Stents
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00270-017-1661-x
Abstract: PurposeCovered stents have been demonstrated to reduce restenosis; however, the membrane’s limited biocompatibility can still lead to thrombus formation. To obtain optimal surface hemocompatibility, endothelialization of the luminal surface has been proposed. However, the effect… read more here.

Use of balloon dilatation for management of postoperative intestinal strictures in children with short bowel syndrome.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of pediatric surgery"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2017.01.040
Abstract: PURPOSE Children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) often require numerous operations to optimize intestinal function. Postoperative intestinal strictures are a complication that inhibits enteral feeding advancement and prolongs parenteral nutrition dependency, often requiring reoperation. Our… read more here.

DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2018.05.034
Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIMS Dominant strictures occur in approximately 50% of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Short-term stents have been reported to produce longer resolution of dominant strictures than single-balloon dilatation. We performed a prospective… read more here.
