Outcomes of radiofrequency ablation by manual versus self-sizing circumferential balloon catheters for the treatment of dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus: a multicenter comparative cohort study
Radiofrequency ablation is the preferred ablative modality for treating dysplastic Barrett's esophagus. A self-sizing circumferential ablation catheter eliminates the need for a sizing balloon. Procedure time was significantly shorter in the self-Sizing group. The primary outcome was the rate of adverse events, including strictures, perforation, and bleeding. A self-sizing system may enhance the efficiency of RFA for treating dysplastic Barrett's esophagus.
