儿童食管支架的研究进展

Research progress on esophageal stents for children

良性食管狭窄是目前临床上常见的儿童食管疾病,其常用的治疗方式为球囊扩张术。根据病变的复杂程度,患儿往往需经历多次食管扩张术,较为痛苦。食管支架因具有更加持久的支撑效果,为治疗儿童食管狭窄提供了新的选择,但诸如胸痛、再狭窄、支架移位等并发症却限制了其临床应用。该文对儿童食管支架的研究现状及临床应用进行了综述。

Currently,benign esophageal stricture is a common clinical esophageal disease in children,and its common treatment is balloon dilatation.According to the complexity of the lesion,the child often suffers from multiple esophageal dilation.Besides,esophageal stent provides a new choice for the treatment of esophageal stricture in children because of the long-lasting support.However,the complications limit its clinical application,such as chest pain,restenosis,and stent displacement.This article reviewed the current research and clinical application of esophageal stents for children.
