Endoscopic Management of Fibrotic Esophageal Strictures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video tip sponsored by Braintree (a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB), an endoscopist uses a needle knife or an IT nano knife to cut through a fibrotic ledge and open up the lumen. The endoscopist makes multiple cuts, around four to six, and then dilates with a balloon to restore the lumen. This technique has proven to be effective for refractory strictures with a fibrotic ledge morphology. The video concludes with a thank you for watching and a promise to return with more tips in the future.
