Normal Functional Luminal Imaging Probe Panometry Findings Associate With Lack of Major Esophageal Motility Disorder on High-Resolution Manometry.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

A normal esophageal response to distension on functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) panometry during endoscopy might indicate normal esophageal motor function. We aimed to investigate the correlation of normal FLIP panometry findings with esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) and outcomes of discrepant patients.

Methods

We performed a retrospective study using data from a registry of patients who completed FLIP during sedated endoscopy. We identified 111 patients with normal FLIP panometry findings (mean age, 42 y; 69% female) and corresponding HRM data. A normal FLIP panometry was defined as an esophagogastric junction (EGJ) distensibility index greater than 3.0 mm²/mm Hg, an absence of repetitive retrograde contractions, and a repetitive
