Stenosis Crohn's Disease Chronic Inflammation | Device: Placing a self-expanding metallic stent Device: A balloon dilatation | Not Applicable |
A Prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial.
Duration: Beginning in mid-2013 with a minimum of three years depending on the patient inclusion rate.
The participation of at least 20 hospitals in Spain with an inclusion of about 6 patients per hospital is required.
Calculation of sample size: The calculation of sample size was performed considering that the efficacy of endoscopic treatment by endoscopic stent placement is superior to endoscopic dilatation: 75% vs 50% for balloon dilation (% of patients free of therapeutic intervention -endoscopic or surgically a year follow-up).
For all 61 patients are required for each treatment group, the total of 122 patients. This calculation is made taking into account:
- Bilateral Contrast: any two samples may be superior in terms of efficacy.
- Error type I: 0.05
- Error type II: 0.20 (statistical power 80%)
- Percentage of efficacy at one year follow-up: 75% in the prosthetic group and 50% in the balloon dilatation group
- Percentage of losses: 5%.

- Percentage (%) of free patients of therapeutic intervention (dilatation, prosthesis or surgery) for symptomatic recurrence at one year follow-up [ Time Frame: one year follow-up ]
To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic treatment (prosthesis vs dilation), determined by the percentage of free patients of a new therapeutic intervention (dilatation, prosthesis or surgery) for symptomatic recurrence at one year follow-up.
Symptomatic recurrence assessment:
It will be performed through an obstructive symptoms scale previously described (Attar et al, Safety and efficacy of extractible self-expandable metal stents in the treatment of Crohn's disease intestinal strictures: A prospective pilot study. Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2011 Dec 11).
- Percentage of free patients of therapeutic intervention (dilatation, prosthesis or surgery) for symptomatic recurrence at 6 months follow-up. [ Time Frame: At 6 months follow-up ]
To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic treatment (prosthesis vs dilation), determined by the percentage of patients free of therapeutic intervention (dilatation, prosthesis or surgery) for symptomatic recurrence at 6 months follow-up.
Symptomatic recurrence assessment:
It will be performed through an obstructive symptoms scale previously described (Attar et al, Safety and efficacy of extractible self-expandable metal stents in the treatment of Crohn's disease intestinal strictures: A prospective pilot study. Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2011 Dec 11).
- Rate of complications related to the procedure. [ Time Frame: one year follow-up ]
Evaluate the safety and complications of both treatments
Immediate complications related to the procedure:
- None
- Inhaled into the lungs.
- Respiratory depression O2 Sat <90%
- Cardiorespiratory arrest
- Arrhythmia
- Allergic reaction
- Pain
- Hemorrhage: self-limiting (spontaneous hemostasis) / accurate endoscopic treatment (drooling bleeding / bleeding jet).
- Piercing: endoscopic treatment / surgery treatment
- Exitus
- Others
Late complications related to the procedure:
- Pain
- Hemorrhage: self-limiting (spontaneous hemostasis) / accurate endoscopic treatment (drooling bleeding / bleeding jet).
- Piercing: endoscopic treatment / surgery treatment
- Exitus
- Others
- The procedure total costs [ Time Frame: one year follow-up ]
Evaluate the costs of both treatments
Study costs:
The calculate procedure of diagnostic test (DT) cost is composed of some premises:
- Calculate the test unit cost
- Accounting for all costs associated with DT Direct and Indirect Costs
