Abstract
Surgical resection for ICA stricture in patients with Crohn's disease was associated with a lower risk of further surgery than EBD. However, EBD could delay time until need for a second surgery and be attempted first for patients with a lower risk for disease progression. Patients at risk for recurrent disease may benefit from upfront surgical therapy.
