Esophageal function testing using multichannel intraluminal impedance.
Multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) is a new technique for evaluation of bolus transport. We evaluated esophageal function using bolus transport time (BTT) and contraction wave velocity (CWV) of liquid, semisolid, and solid boluses. Ten healthy subjects underwent MII swallow evaluation with various boluses of sterile water (pH 5), applesauce, three different sized marshmallows, and iced a...
متن کاملAtrio-esophageal fistula complicating esophageal achalasia.
A 75-year-old male, known to have achalasia, was admitted to the intensive care unit with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding and sepsis. He had a history of purulent pericarditis 18 months earlier. He also presented with atrial fibrillation associated with a cerebral transient ischemic accident two months earlier. A contrast computed tomography scan showed an atrio-esophageal fistula with ...
متن کاملSonographic findings in esophageal achalasia.
BACKGROUND There are only three reports using conventional sonography to detect the gastroesophageal junction through the left lobe liver window in patients with achalasia, and the results were inconsistent. This study further characterizes the sonographic features of achalasia and compares them to characteristics of subjects with gastroesophageal malignancies. METHODS Conventional sonography...
متن کاملSurgery or Peroral Esophageal Myotomy for Achalasia
To date very few studies with small sample size have compared peroral esophageal myotomy (POEM) with the current surgical standard of care, laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM), in terms of efficacy and safety, and no recommendations have been proposed.To investigate the efficacy and safety of POEM compared with LHM, for the treatment of achalasia.The databases of Pubmed, Medline, Cochrane, and Ov...
