Dr. J...

Whewwww! Glad to see you back online. Hope you had some rest and relaxation!

Found your posting about stents under the esophageal strictures subject heading, so I figured you had scanned some of the notes back and forth between me, Scott and Belle.

Just curious...
Are you, by chance, familiar with the TREAD procedure (Transgastric Retrograde Esophagoscopy w/ Anterograde Dilitation) for opening radiation-induced strictures? My husband is a TREAD success story and I've tried to explain the procedure as best I could in recent postings, if you'd like to refer back.

Just wondering if you are familiar, or have even heard of TREAD?

Best regards,

Melanie
