- * A total of 149 dilatations were studied, revealing a stricture recurrence rate of 72.5% and that dilation up to 16.5 mm resulted in the lowest recurrence rate (41.7%) and longest dilation-free period (490 days).
- * The findings suggest that dilation up to 16.5 mm is safer and more effective compared to 18 mm, as it shows lower rates of stricture recurrence and bleeding following the procedure.
A 22-year-old woman with a 1-month history of shortness of breath that was treated as a case of tuberculosis and pulmonary embolism was referred to the authors' hospital.
