Stricture dilation via balloon-assisted endoscopy in Crohn's disease: approach and intraprocedural outcomes with the single-balloon and double-balloon systems.

BAE is a safe procedure in small bowel CD with a high intraprocedural success rate. Overall, SBE had a higher success rate in traversing strictures before and after dilation using our technique. This analysis is limited by the retrospective nature of our study and must be balanced against the inherent benefits of the DBE system.
