Fluoroscopic control for dilation of esophagogastric anastomotic stricture
JM Keshishian, NP Smyth, KF Cheyney and DD Maxwell
A radiologic technique is described for dilating a strictured side-to- side
anastomosis between the upper esophagus and the fundus of the stomach.
Traditional dilatation methods could not be employed because of the lateral
position of the anastomosis.
