Abstract
The membership of the Society for Pediatric Radiology was surveyed to determine the safety and efficacy of the Foley catheter technique. Completed questionnaires were returned from 148 institutions. Sixty-four institutions reported that they were currently removing blunt esophageal foreign bodies utilizing the balloon catheter. Over 2500 patients were reported as having been treated utilizing this technique. Only one potentially serious but reversible complication was observed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
