Therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholan-giopancreatography using balloon enteroscopy has been shown to be feasible and effective in patients with such strictures. However, when a benign anas-tomotic stricture is severe, a dilation catheter cannot pass through the stricture despite successful insertion of the guidewire. We report on the usefulness of the Soehendra Stent Retriever over a guidewire for dilating a severe bilioenteric or pancreatoenteric anastomotic stricture under short double-balloon enteroscopy, in two patients with surgically altered anatomies.展开更多
