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 ...

Who Needs Endoscopic Removal of Food Residue From the Esophagus Before Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal Achalasia and Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction?

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment for esophageal achalasia. Despite favorable outcomes, the risk of reflux aspiration during general anesthesia induction in POEM remains a concern. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for food residue in the esophagus before POEM and evaluate the necessity of ...

Utility of the Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System in Identifying Silent Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease During Routine Health Check‐ups

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The endoscopic pressure study integrated system (EPSIS) is a novel functional endoscopic modality that records intragastric pressure (IGP) waveforms during CO2 insufflation to evaluate lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function and diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
