  • Title: Colonic strictures in infants following intestinal ischemia. Treatment by balloon catheter dilatation.
    Author: Ball WS, Seigel RS, Goldthorn JF, Kosloske AM.
    Journal: Radiology; 1983 Nov; 149(2):469-71. PubMed ID: 6622690.
    Abstract:
    Successful balloon catheter dilatation through the defunctionalized limb of a colostomy was performed in three infants with postischemic colonic stricture. This experience suggests that balloon catheter dilatation can be an alternative to surgical resection in treating delayed ischemic colonic stricture.
