Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Panometry Helps Identify Clinically Relevant Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction per Chicago Classification v4.0.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) outflow obstruction (EGJOO) per Chicago Classification v4.0 (CCv4.0) represents a high-resolution manometry (HRM) diagnosis with uncertain clinical significance. This study aimed to evaluate functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) panometry among patients with EGJOO on HRM/CCv4.0 to assess clinical/manometric associations and treatment outcomes.

Methods

An observational cohort study was performed on patients who completed FLIP during endoscopy and had an HRM/CCv4.0 diagnosis of EGJOO, i.e., HRM-EGJOO (inconclusive). Abnormal FLIP panometry motility classifications were applied to identify FLIP-confirmed conclusive EGJOO. Rapid drink challenge on HRM and timed barium esophagram were also assessed. Clinical management plan was determin
