Fig. 4. Balloon dilation and stent placement for an anastomotic stricture in a 67-year-old patient. (A) Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series prior to balloon dilation shows an anastomotic stricture (arrows) at the gastroduodenostomy site. (B) A 15 mm and 20 mm diameter balloon dilation was performed with full dilation of the balloon catheters. (C) Because there was symptom recurrence, a retrievable stent (arrows) was placed 5 weeks following balloon dilation. (D) However, 5 months following stenting, the stent (arrows) was found to have migrated into the small bowel. (E) Dual, partially covered stents (arrows) were placed and there was no further migration.
