Esophageal strictures refractory to conservative treatment (balloon dilation, bouginage) are difficult to manage. Recently, some investigators reported great success using endoscopy-guided topical application of mitomycin-C to prevent scar formation and restenosis in children with benign esophageal strictures unresponsive to balloon dilation. Herein, the authors report a fluoroscopic approach for topical application of mitomycin-C in a case of refractory esophageal stricture after surgical repair in a child with congenital esophageal atresia. This technique is a feasible alternative to endoscopic techniques.
