Acute Respiratory Failure From Massive Esophageal Dilatation due to Achalasia
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Massive esophageal dilatation secondary to achalasia resulting in acute hypoxic respiratory failure from cardiopulmonary mass effect. ABSTRACT Massive esophageal dilation from achalasia can cause acute respiratory failure via lung compression. Prompt recognition and urgent esophageal decompression can rapidly reverse hypoxia and be lifesaving.

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT In endoscopic full‐thickness resection (EFTR), luminal collapse can occur due to communication between the gastrointestinal lumen and peritoneal cavity, making visualization and procedural continuity difficult. We propose the underwater pressure lumen expansion (UPLE) method, in which hydraulic pressure is applied in a fluid‐filled environment
