Efficacy and safety of EMR to completely remove Barrett's esophagus: experience in 41 patients

Long-term outcomes of a primary complete endoscopic resection strategy for short-segment Barrett’s esophagus with high-grade dysplasia and/or early esophageal adenocarcinoma

“…11,37,38 We restricted our CER cohort to a maximal BE segment length of >3 cm in circumferential length and 5 cm in maximal length, which likely explains a stricture rate of 30%, in the middle of reported rates of 16% to 88%. [11][12][13]31,[38][39][40] There have been several interventions aimed at preventing post-CER strictures with varying success. [41][42][43][44][45][46][47] A safe and effective intervention to prevent stricture formation could potentially make a primary CER approach the preferred treatment.…”
