New balloon treatment aims to stop painful urinary blockages from coming back
NCT ID NCT03270384
Summary
This study tested a special balloon coated with a scar-reducing drug to treat men with recurring urethral strictures (narrowing of the urine tube). The goal was to see if inflating this balloon in the narrowed area could safely keep it open longer than previous treatments. It involved 16 men who had failed at least two prior procedures for their stricture.
