Core Tip Esophageal strictures are managed by dilation, and most often, they respond depending on the etiology of the stricture. At times, when a stricture evolves into to refractory or recurrent stricture, the management requires additional techniques and devices to successfully maintain a desired diameter to avoid dysphagia for optimal clinical success. In addition, to maintain a satisfactory luminal diameter for an adequate duration once the target diameter has been achieved. In this mini-review, we discuss the management of esophageal strictures beyond dilation and deliberate the use of drugs, techniques, and devices for their management.
