Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Background And Aims: The BougieCap (Ovesco Endoscopy AG, Tübingen, Germany) is a new device that allows optical and tactile feedback during stricture dilation of the upper GI tract. We evaluated the technical feasibility, clinical efficacy, and safety of a 1-time esophageal stricture dilation using the BougieCap in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
Methods: EoE patients prospectively included in the Swiss EoE Cohort were dilated with the BougieCap for esophageal strictures (esophageal diameter, ≤14 mm) and stricture-related symptoms.

Background: A major limitation of current treatment strategies for nonmalignant upper gastrointestinal stenoses is the lack of either optical or haptic feedback during dilation. Wire guidance and fluoroscopy is often necessary to control the position.
Methods: A novel device for endoscopic dilation, the BougieCap (Ovesco Endoscopy AG, Tübingen, Germany) was evaluated in a prospective multicenter trial.
