Achalasia treatment with balloon dilatation: 14 years of follow-up
Keywords:
Achalasia, endoscopic treatment, pneumatic dilation.Abstract
Introduction: Achalasia is considered an esophageal motor disorder given clinically by the intermittent and progressive difficulty to the food intake, existing different therapeutic methods for its resolution. Objective: To describe the experience in the treatment of this pathology with dilation with balloon our Institution in a period of 14 years. Materials and Methods: Retrospective review of the histories of patients diagnosed with Achalasia. Results: A total of 53 patients were included. There were no differences in terms of sex, an average age of 51 years, which was performed at 73% from two to three pneumatic dilatations with good results at 5 years of follow-up. Conclusions: Progressive pneumatic balloon dilatation was a safe method, with very low complications and optimal long-term results
