Can Achalasia Subtyping by High-Resolution Manometry Predict the Therapeutic Outcome of Pneumatic Balloon Dilatation?
TO THE EDITOR: I read with great interest the paper entitled “Achalasia cardia subtyping by high-resolution manometry predicts the therapeutic outcome of pneumatic balloon dilatation” by Pratap et al, which was published in January 2011 issue of Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility. Achalasia is the best known primary esophageal motility disorder characterized by absent peristalsis of ...
متن کاملCan Achalasia Subtyping by High-Resolution Manometry Predict the Therapeutic Outcome of Pneumatic Balloon Dilatation?: Author's Reply
TO THE EDITOR: We would like to appreciate the interest shown in our article by Dr. Joo. Our response to his queries is as follows: (1) The risk factors for prediction of recurrence after endoscopic pneumatic dilatation are young age, male sex, shorter duration of symptoms, low pre-treatment lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and post therapy LES pressure above 10 mmHg. In the present st...
متن کاملAchalasia Cardia Subtyping by High-Resolution Manometry Predicts the Therapeutic Outcome of Pneumatic Balloon Dilatation
BACKGROUND/AIMS High-resolution manometry (HRM) with pressure topography is used to subtype achalasia cardia, which has therapeutic implications. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics, manometric variables and treatment outcomes among the achalasia subtypes based on the HRM findings. METHODS The patients who underwent HRM at the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology,...
متن کاملEndoscopic pneumatic balloon dilatation for achalasia of the cardia.
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic pneumatic balloon dilatation as the initial treatment for achalasia of the cardia. 15 patients with achalasia underwent a total of 19 dilatations using the new polyethylene dilator (Microvasive Rigiflex Balloon Dilator) over the last 6 years. An overall treatment success rate of 93% was achieved. 11 patients (73.3%) have not required a ...
متن کاملPneumatic dilatation in achalasia.
To assess the value of pneumatic dilatation of the cardia, 63 patients with achalasia have undergone a total of 107 Rider-Moeller dilatations over the last six years. There was a marked improvement in swallowing immediately after dilatation in all but two patients, there were no deaths attributable to the procedure and serious complications were rare (1.6% of patients). The first 50 cases have ...
