achalasia

It is my absolute pleasure on behalf of all of my co-authors to present our study on contractility patterns on FLIP prior to POEM predicts outcomes in achalasia.

I would like to thank GIE for affording our research team the opportunity to present our research.

Achalasia is a primary esophageal motility disorder, which is characterized by the absence of primary peristalsis and high-resolution manometry.

Recently, FLIP, or functional lumen imaging probe, has provided us a second axis of information.

FLIP has been used to quantify EGJ dynamics, but also provides us information on secondary peristalsis, which is different to primary peristalsis.
