Hybrid endoscopic stricturotomy and balloon dilation of ascending colon stricture with cecal fecaliths in Crohn’s disease guided by preprocedural intestinal ultrasound
Background and Aims
Endotherapy for Crohn’s disease (CD) strictures has evolved as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery. Hybrid techniques combining endoscopic stricturotomy (ES) and balloon dilation (EBD) can improve outcomes. Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has emerged as a point-of-care tool for stricture assessment. We present a case using preprocedural IUS-guided hybrid ES and EBD to manage an ascending colon stricture with proximal fecaliths in CD.
Methods
A 47-year-old man with ileocolonic CD (Montreal classification A2, L3, B2) receiving adalimumab and azathioprine presented with recurrent obstructive symptoms. IUS identified a short, predominantly fibrotic, ascending colon stricture. Earlier computed tomography enterography 6 months back ruled out additional strictures. On colonoscopy, ES was performed using an insulated-tip knife, followed by EBD up to 12 mm. Redundant mucosa was excised, and minor bleeding controlled. The stricture was successfully traversed, and fecaliths were extracted.
Results
The procedure was uneventful, and the patient was discharged the next day after adalimumab escalation. At 9-month follow-up, he remained symptom-free.
Conclusions
Hybrid ES and EBD guided by preprocedural IUS offer an effective multimodal approach for CD strictures, potentially delaying or avoiding surgery. Further studies are warranted to validate the long-term role of IUS in stricture management.
期刊介绍:
VideoGIE, an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, is an Open Access, online-only journal to serve patients with digestive diseases. VideoGIE publishes original, single-blinded peer-reviewed video case reports and case series of endoscopic procedures used in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive diseases. Videos demonstrate use of endoscopic systems, devices, and techniques; report outcomes of endoscopic interventions; and educate physicians and patients about gastrointestinal endoscopy. VideoGIE serves the educational needs of endoscopists in training as well as advanced endoscopists, endoscopy staff and industry, and patients. VideoGIE brings video commentaries from experts, legends, committees, and leadership of the society. Careful adherence to submission guidelines will avoid unnecessary delays, as incomplete submissions may be returned to the authors before initiation of the peer review process.
