Popis: Abstract Background Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) angioplasty is safe and effective for coronary artery disease. However, DCBs dilatation for the treatment of benign esophageal strictures is rarely reported. Purpose We aimed to report the clinical outcomes of DCBs dilatation for patients with benign esophageal strictures. Methods From May 2020 to August 2023, 18 patients underwent DCBs dilatation for benign esophageal strictures. Baseline demographics were recorded and evaluated, including gender, age, comorbidities, stricture diameter and length, dilatation session, complications. Results A total of 24 dilatation sessions of DCBs were performed, with a mean of 1.3 ± 0.6 sessions per patients (range 1.0–5.0). Dysphagia score decreased significantly after DCBs dilatation (2.6 ± 1.1 vs. 0.9 ± 1.3, p = 0.0002). Both stricture diameter and stricture index decreased significantly after DCBs dilatation (p
