Article Synopsis
- Radial incision and cutting (RIC) is explored as a new method for treating lower intestinal tract stenosis, aiming for high success rates and symptom relief, but patients often experience re-stenosis after the procedure.
- In a pilot study involving 20 patients, RIC was performed with the addition of triamcinolone acetonide (TA), and the safety and efficacy were assessed after two months, focusing on adverse events and symptom improvement.
- Results showed a delayed bleeding rate of 23.8%, but no perforations occurred; while symptoms improved, TA didn’t seem to significantly prevent re-stenosis, suggesting the need for further research.
