Subsequently, the passage was slightly dilated, after which a double expanding Memokath 045 could be placed and thermo-expanded (Figure 2), endoscopically controlled from above and below, ensuring that the proximal cone expanded above the stricture and the distal cone was placed above the sphincter.
