871 Hydraulic Dilation for Achalasia: A Series Utilizing a 30-mm Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Dilator, the EsoFLIP

Treatment experience with a novel 30-mm hydrostatic balloon in esophageal dysmotility: a multicenter retrospective analysis

“…4 A second study also evaluated 10 patients who underwent 30-mm EsoFLIP dilation in the setting of achalasia, and successful dilation was defined as an Eckardt score <4 without the need for reintervention. 5 In their small sample size, clinical success was achieved in 60% of patients. 5 The aim of our study was to determine the clinical success and safety of EsoFLIP in the treatment of esophageal motility disorders.…”

“…Three additional small, single-center studies have looked at the use of EsoFLIP prospectively in their individual centers to assess feasibility and found no serious adverse events. [4][5][6] One study looked at 10 patients who underwent 2 dilations to 30 mm. 4 They were able to show technical success in all patients, defined as the ability to see the impression of balloon dilation on the computer monitor.…”
