First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looks at children born with esophageal atresia, a condition where the esophagus doesn't form properly. After surgery, many develop a narrowing (stricture) that needs balloon dilation to open it up. The study will compare different inflation times to see if a longer hold reduces the number of repeat procedures needed over 6 months. About 128 children will take part.
