Strictures after esophageal atresia repair

The primary objective is to find out whether intralesional steroid injections (ISI) in children with esophageal atresia (EA) can prevent refractory strictures from developing and consequently can reduce the total number of dilatations needed within 28 days interval.

Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Safety, Therapy

The primary objective is to find out whether intralesional steroid injections (ISI) in children with esophageal atresia (EA) can prevent refractory strictures from developing and consequently can reduce the total number of dilatations needed within 28 days interval.

Secondary objectives 5

  1. To compare the level of dysphagia
  2. To compare the efficacy of the effect of dilatation with ISI on the luminal esophageal diameter and the stricture length
  3. To evaluate a possible influence of co-medication on stricture formation
  4. To analyze the possible systemic effects of ISI
  5. To analyze the costs-effectiveness of the intervention between the two groups.
