The Utility of Functional Luminal Imaging Probes Measurements to Diagnose Dysmotility and Their Relationship to Impaired Bolus Clearance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Functional luminal imaging probes (FLIP) have been used by multiple centers to assess esophagogastric junction (EGJ) function in patients at risk for esophageal obstruction but its role in diagnosing peristaltic disorders is less well studied. In particular, there are no studies comparing the sensitivity of FLIP to diagnose motility abnormalities and impaired bolus transit by high-resolution esophageal manometry with impedance.

Methods

We prospectively recruited 42 patients undergoing high-resolution esophageal manometry with impedance (HRIM) who also underwent FLIP between 2018 and 2020. HRIM parameters were analyzed using Swallow Gateway software to determine peristaltic and lower esophageal sphincter pressure measurements as well as bolus flow parameters. FLIP
