BougieCap shows promising results in EoE Stricture Dilation

BougieCap enables dilation under visual control in case of eosinophilic esophagitis stricture

Key findings

• BougieCap enabled dilation under direct visualization
• Dilation was performed with no resistance at 12mm, mild resistance at 14mm and significant resistance at 16mm
• Two jagged, deep mucosal tears without evidence of perforation were observed
• Repeat dilation was performed 2 weeks later with 16mm BougieCap, followed by 17mm- and 18mm wire-guided Savary dilators, leading to a resolution of the luminal narrowing

Case details

• A 44-year-old-man with eosinophilic esophagitis presented with chronic dysphagia
• He had previously undergone multiple dilations, the last in 2019 with a balloon dilation of up to 10mm
• Upper endoscopy 6 month’s prior revealed eosinophilic esophagitis with significant narrowing 6cm in length
