The present study compares the efficacy of a self‐expanding metallic stent (SEMS, diameter of 30 mm) and pneumatic dilation for the long‐term clinical treatment of achalasia. A total of 155 patients diagnosed with achalasia were allocated for pneumatic dilation (n= 80, group A) or a temporary, 30‐mm diameter SEMS (n= 75, group B). The SEMSs were placed under fluoroscopic guidance and removed by gastroscopy...
Background To assess the performance, efficiency and optimal removal time of a newly designed temporary retrievable cardia covered stent (TRC‐CS) for the treatment of achalasia in a dog model.
Methods Eighty‐four achalasia‐like dog models were randomly divided into seven groups of 12, a control group (CG; no stent insertion), a standard stent control group (NSCG, standard esophageal stent) and...
