- Question
Evidence on the safety and efficacy of balloon cryoablation for Barrett's oesophagus is inadequate in quantity and quality. Therefore, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. This could be in the form of randomised controlled trials or published registry data. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Patient selection should be done by clinicians experienced in managing Barrett's oesophagus.
Further research should report patient selection, longer-term follow up and complications, including oesophageal stricture.
