Abstract
Interventional radiologists have an increasing role in managing oesophageal strictures. Fluoroscopically-guided balloon dilatation can relieve dysphagia in patients with benign strictures in about 95% of cases with minimal associated complications. Over 95% of patients with inoperable malignant oesophageal strictures can be successfully palliated with self-expanding metallic stents.
