Interactive Panometry: Using Proximal Balloon Distension During Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Panometry to Enhance Motility Evaluation of Inhibitory Function

Background/Aims: : Descending inhibition facilitates esophageal peristalsis and lower esophageal sphincter relaxation, processes impaired in achalasia. The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) assesses esophageal motility and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) opening but does not d...
