We performed fluoroscopic guided balloon dilatation in 6 patients who had symptomatic stricture of gastrojejunostomy. The stricture was successfully resolved in 4 patients with benign stricture. But 2 patients with malignant stricture had recurrence of obstructive symptoms 2 weeks later, and they required a stent. Asymptomatic balloon rupture was seen in one patients, but other procedural complications did not occur. We found that fluoroscopic guided balloon dilatation is an effective and safe method in the treatment of anastomotic stricture of gastrojejunostomy. We also found transient effect in malignant gastrojejunal anastomotic strictures, which required an interventional procedure, such as placement of a stent.","","","","","Korea, Republic of","1993-07-15","","Korean","Journal Article","","4","29","Journal Name: Journal of the Korean Radiological Society; Journal Volume: 29; Journal Issue: 4; Other Information: 23 refs, 2 figs, 1 tab","","Medium: X; Size: page(s) 742-746","","","","Journal ID: ISSN 1738-2637; DBSHAH; TRN: KR0900738027947","https://doi.org/","","2010-01-01","21148480",""
