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.

EAES Clinical Practice Guideline 2026 Protocol: Multi‐Society Recommendations for the Treatment of Achalasia

Clinical and Public Health Guidelines, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Achalasia causes significant distress and quality‐of‐life impairment to patients. Several options exist for the treatment of achalasia including endoscopic [intra‐sphincteric injection of botulinum toxin, pneumatic dilation, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)], and surgical techniques such as Heller Myotomy.

Complete endoscopic closure (clipping) of a large esophageal perforation after pneumatic dilation in a patient with achalasia [PDF]

, 2012
The risk of esophageal perforation following endoscopic balloon dilation for achalasia is in the range of 1 and 5% with a mortality rate of 1-20%. Perforations need to be recognized early and, if reasonable, an immediate endoscopic repair should be ...

An Exploratory Endoscopic Achalasia Phenotype With Visible Squamocolumnar Junction and Distal Esophagogastric Junction Relaxation Failure: Association With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease After Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (With Video)

Digestive Endoscopy, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds and Aims Esophageal achalasia is typically defined by impaired lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation. In rare cases, complete circumferential visibility of the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) and upper gastric folds (GFs) is seen endoscopically, suggesting functional obstruction may extend to the distal esophagogastric junction

Consensus on the Management of Anesthetic Agents During Digestive Motility Measurements and Proposal of a Standardized Protocol for Anesthesia (French Neuro Gastroenterology Group GFNG and Committee of Anesthetic French Experts)

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Anesthesia can alter measurements during digestive endoscopies, yet no standardized protocol currently exists. Two expert groups—the French Neuro‐Gastroenterology Group (GFNG) and anesthesiologists—used the Delphi method to reach a consensus on which drugs have an influence (91 amendments), ultimately resulting in a proposed anesthesia protocol (28 ...

The Role of Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (FLIP) in Addition to High‐Resolution Manometry and Timed Barium Esophagram in Treated Achalasia Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Symptoms

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 3, March 2026.
Functional lumen imaging probe did not offer additional yield over high‐resolution manometry and timed barium esophagram in identifying which treated achalasia patients with persistent or recurrent symptoms were likely to benefit from further treatment.
