The conundrum of esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction: Answers to key clinical questions

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1549, Issue 1, Page 5-10, July 2025.
Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by abnormal esophagogastric junction pressures in the setting of intact peristalsis. The significance of this finding is highest in patients with dysphagia or chest pain, and in patients for whom there is a clinical suspicion for an achalasia variant.

Role of balloon dilation test in identifying suitable candidates for gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy

DEN Open, Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2025.
Abstract Background Predicting successful outcomes of gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G‐POEM) is essential for identifying patients who are most likely to benefit from the procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the balloon dilation test (BDT) in optimizing patient selection for G‐POEM.
