Abstract
This study is the basic research on esophageal balloon dialation with automatic detection of the pressure change in the balloon and analysis using personal computer. In conventional method, the esophageal stricture is cured by surgically. Recently, balloon dialation method has been proposed and is popularized. In balloon dialation, detecting esophageal rupture is very important. When using radiological investigation, the leak of contrast medium is very dangerous. In proposed method, the detection of esopageal rupture can be peformed by detecting and analyze the pressure change of dialation balloon. Experimental system is composed of balloon catheter, pressure pump, pressure sensor, A/D converter and PC.
