Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction Is Likely to Be a Local Manifestation of Other Primary Diseases: Analysis of Single-Center 4-Year Follow-Up Data

Diagnostics, 2023
Background: Whether esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a variant of achalasia cardia (AC) or an esophageal motility state of certain organic or systemic diseases remains controversial.

Endoscopic Management of Dysphagia

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2021
Dysphagia is difficulty in swallowing that can be caused by a number of disorders that involve either the oropharynx or the esophagus. Specific endoscopic treatment for dysphagia depends on its etiology, whether the dysphagia is caused by mechanical ...

Pneumatic Dilatation and Surgical Myotomy for Achalasia [PDF]

JAMA, 2006
Pneumatic dilatation and surgical (Heller) myotomy are the 2 principal methods for treatment of achalasia. There are no population-based studies comparing outcomes of these 2 treatments in typical practice settings.To compare the outcomes of pneumatic dilatation and surgical myotomy for achalasia.Retrospective longitudinal study using linked ...

Successful Management of Esophageal Perforation with Self-Expandable Metal Stent following Pneumatic Dilation for Achalasia Cardia

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2019
Achalasia cardia is the most common cause of motor dysphagia. Pneumatic dilation (PD) of lower esophageal sphincter remains the cornerstone of treatment. However, it is associated with esophageal perforation in some cases. We present a case of esophageal

Familial achalasia isolated or syndromic: about 18 families

Exploration of Digestive Diseases, 2023
Aim: Familial achalasia (FA) is a very rare condition. This work aims to evaluate its prevalence, characterize its clinical profile in a large series, and assess the efficacy and safety of pneumatic dilation (PD) in this context.

Laparoscopic approach to esophageal perforation secondary to pneumatic dilation for achalasia

, 2008
Perforation of the esophagus after pneumatic dilation for achalasia is a severe complication which should be treated accurately in order to obtain a successful immediate outcome and a satisfactory result for the underlying condition.

A Case of Achalasia Presenting with Cardiac Arrest due to Left Atrial Compression [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research, 2020
Achalasia is a rare primary esophageal motility disorder characterized by the loss of enteric neurons leading to an absence of peristalsis and impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. The subsequent stasis of ingested food not only leads to

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...
