*Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of esophageal stricture, however complications resulting from untreated esophageal stricture is common.

Refractory Esophageal Strictures: What To Do When Dilation Fails

medscape:

  • Reinforce the need for patients with esophageal stricture to comply with the usual antireflux precautions and lifestyle modifications.
  • Encourage weight loss.
  • Patients are told to eat smaller meals, avoid eating in a hurried fashion, and chew their food well.
  • Ill-fitting dentures or poor dentition should be corrected if possible.
  • Educate all patients with esophageal stricture about avoiding medications known to cause esophagitis, including over-the-counter medications such as aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • Inform all patients that the stricture recurrence rate for esophageal stricture is higher if they are noncompliant with PPI therapy.
  • For patient education resources, see  Heartburn and GERD Center and Digestive Disorders Center, as well as  Acid Reflux (GERD) and  Heartburn.
