Desirability of roentgen esophageal examination immediately after pneumatic dilatation for achalasia
Radiology.
1979 Mar.
Abstract
Although infrequent, esophageal rupture is a serious complication of pneumatic dilatation for the treatment of achalasia. Because of an experience with delayed recognition of esophageal perforation in a patient with achalasia, we now examine the esophagus using a water-soluble contrast medium immediately following every pneumatic dilatation. This technique allows immediate detection of esophageal perforation.
