Complications of Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System: Review of 1205 Cases in 10 Years’ Experience

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System (EPSIS) is a novel endoscopic tool to assess lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function by monitoring intragastric pressure (IGP) through insufflation. While previous studies have confirmed its diagnostic utility for LES dysfunction‐related disorders such as gastroesophageal ...

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy in Diffuse Thickened Esophageal Wall in an Adolescent

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2018
Achalasia is an extremely rare pathology in children. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of achalasia in adults, but only a limited number of cases of achalasia treatment using POEM in children have been ...

ACHALASIA TREATMENT IMPROVES SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS AND QUALITY OF LIFE: VALIDATION OF AN ACHALASIA SPECIFIC QUALITY OF LIFE QUESTIONNAIRE [PDF]

, 2013
Background and aim: Therapies for achalasia aim to patients’ symptom relief, but they affect patient’s quality of life (QoL), too. An ad hoc question- naire evaluating both achalasia-related symptoms and disease related QoL is lacking. Aim: To validate a

Is Single‐Session Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy With Fundoplication Safe and Effective in Achalasia? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
This meta‐analysis of nine studies (202 patients) demonstrates that peroral endoscopic myotomy with fundoplication (POEM‐F) achieves a technical success of 94.8% and significant symptom improvement (Eckardt score reduction from 8.3 to 1.1). Post‐procedural esophagitis occurred in 20.7% and wrap integrity was preserved in 75.7% on follow‐up, supporting ...

The Pathogenesis and Management of Achalasia: Current Status and Future Directions

Gut and Liver, 2015
Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder that is commonly misdiagnosed initially as gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients with achalasia often complain of dysphagia with solids and liquids but may focus on regurgitation as the primary symptom ...

Difference of achalasia subtypes based on clinical symptoms, radiographic findings, and stasis scores

Revista de Gastroenterología de México (English Edition), 2018
Introduction: Three subtypes of achalasia have been defined through high-resolution esophageal manometry: subtype i shows no pressurization with swallows, subtype ii has increased isobaric panesophageal pressure, and subtype iii has distal esophageal ...

Impaired Esophageal Motility and Clearance Post-Lung Transplant: Risk For Chronic Allograft Failure [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives: Gastroesophageal reflux is common in patients post-lung transplantation (LTx) and thus considered a risk factor for aspiration and consequently allograft rejection and the development of chronic allograft failure. However, evidence supporting

Efficacy and Safety of a Revised Gastric Peroral Endoscopic Myo‐Neurotomy Procedure for Bariatric Endoscopy in a Porcine Model

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for obesity, although gastric mucosa folding and subsequent reduced visibility of the gastric lining raise concerns for some patients. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a revised peroral endoscopic myo‐neurotomy (R‐POEM‐N) technique using a ...

Enhanced Visualization of the Distal Myotomy Endpoint during Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Using Indocyanine Green With Infrared Imaging

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.
