Stent vs. surgery: new hope for kids with esophageal blockage?
NCT ID NCT07373522
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special stent (a small mesh tube) usually used for bile ducts could help children with a narrowed esophagus (food pipe). Forty children were randomly assigned to get either the stent or standard surgery. The main goal was to see how often the narrowing came back. The stent approach may offer a less invasive option, but it is not a cure and children may still need ongoing care.
