ENDOPYLORIC TOOL AND METHOD TO TREAT HYPERTROPIC PYLORIC STENOSIS

摘要

A low profile gastrointestinal dilation catheter for use in infants includes a catheter tube, a dilation balloon, and at least one anchoring device. The dilation balloon is disposed over the catheter tube and is configured to transition between a compressed state and an expanded state. The at least one anchoring device is configured to prevent migration of the dilation balloon during a transition of the dilation balloon from the compressed state to the expanded state. A method to treat infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is also provided.
