Hi. The solution to the not amenable stricture in esophagus in a lady who is old- 93 years is to go for to go for feeding jejunostomy. This will give rest to the esophagus, the edema will get reduced and then the esophagus may be amenable o dilatation. If so , advised to put a metallic stent in the esophagus for permanent dilation.
