ABSTRACT
Chronic idiopathic inflamatory bowel disease, espcaially Crohn's disease, is frequently complicated with low gastrointestinal stricture. Besides medical treatment of active inflammation, there is no specific, conservative approach to this complication, Repetitive surgery with extensive resections, leading to short bowel syndrome, is often necessary. Balloons have been used for a variety of gastrointestinal stenoses including esophageal, small intestinal, and colonic stricture. Balloon dilation offers many theoretical advantages (safety, and patient comfort) over dilation with bougies. Especially, the availability of large diameter balloon dilators, which pass through the biopsy channel of standard endoscopes (through-the scope balloon or TTS balloon), has promised efficient direct-vision dilatation of strictures without the need of guide wires or fluoroscope. We report a case of colonic Crohn's stricture dilated successfully using TTS balloon catheter.
