文摘We present a novel simple technique for stimulating distal esophageal pouch growth in a patient with isolated, long-gap esophageal atresia. In this case report, distal esophageal growth was achieved through daily intermittent pressurization via a surgically placed in dwelling balloon catheter. The patient ultimately underwent successful, uncomplicated, tension-free,primary repair and remains asymptomatic.
