Paclitaxel Coated Balloon for the Treatment of Chronic bEnigN sTricture- Esophagus

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ProTractX3™ DCB for the treatment of benign esophageal strictures.

Tranilast Vs. Steroids to Prevent Esophageal Stricture (TAPES) After Endoscopic Resection for Superficial Neoplasms

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if tranilast works to prevent esophageal stricture after circumferential endoscopic submucosal dissection (cESD) in adults. It will also help us learn more about the safety of tranilast. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does tranilast reduce the occurence of esophageal stricture in participants after cESD? 2. What medical problems do participants have when taking tranilast. Researchers will compare tranilast to prednisone (a steroid used in clinical practice with potential defects) to see if tranilast works well to prevent esophageal stricture. Participants will: 1. Take tranilast or prednisone every day for 8 weeks. 2. Attend visit (at clinic or phone) once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests until 16 weeks. 3. Keep a diary of their symptoms and let researchers know during the 16 weeks follow up.

Role of Topical Steroid Injection With Refractory Benign Esophageal Stricture Endoscopic Dilatation in Children

This clinical trial study included 21 children with refractory benign esophageal strictures. Upper GI endoscopy performed up to the area of stricture, esophageal dilatation done, endoscopy repeated, and steroid injected intralesional under direct endoscopic vision. The effect of the procedure was followed over a period of 12 months by evaluation of number of dilatation, maximum dilator size, periodic dilatation index (PDI) and dysphagia score.
