Use of Mitomycin C for Refractory Esophageal Stricture following Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair

Abstract

Abstract Esophageal stricture is a well-described complication following tracheoesophageal fistula repair. Herein, we report two patients who had persistent esophageal strictures after several months of repeat balloon dilatations. Each patient was treated with a single application of topical mitomycin C in addition to esophageal dilatation, which resulted in complete resolution of the stricture.
