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.

Comparison of Achalasia Classification Schemes to Predict Treatment Outcomes

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Achalasia classification methods can be beneficial to help prognosticate treatment outcomes. High‐resolution manometry subtypes (Chicago Classification) predicted symptomatic outcome, whereas esophagram‐based classifications (Japanese Esophageal Society (JES), Italian, Brazilian) more strongly predicted objective emptying. This highlights the potential
