Case description

Pneumatic dilatation under endoscopic guidance. Pneumatic balloon dilation is considered by many to be the treatment of choice for achalasia of the esophagus. Dilation procedures are done as an outpatient procedure using only mild sedation with fentanyl and midazolam. Sedation is kept to true conscious sedation to assist the operator in evaluating severity of dilation induced chest pain.
