Successful endoscopic wire-guided balloon dilatation of angulated and tight ileal pouch strictures without fluoroscopy

摘要

Background Ileal pouch strictures that are visually inaccessible by an endoscope may be balloon-dilated by exchange guide wire across the stricture with the aid of fluoroscopy. We present a technique of wire-guided balloon dilation without fluoroscopy to navigate strictures in the ileal pouch.
