Can not answer: We do not have enough information to answer your question and this question better be addressed to the gastroenterologist who did the dilatation and knows your case.

Not for that reason: As long as your endoscopy showed nothing else going on, you probably do not need another one. However, you need to find out from your doctor whether or not something needs to be done about the aberrant subclavian artery.
