702 Correspondence Gastroenterology Vol. 164, Iss. 4 discussed in the commentary). These
are not “swallowinduced primary peristalsis on an obstructing balloon.” First, they are not …

Gastrointestinal sphincters play a vital role in gut function and motility by separating the gut
into functional segments. Traditionally, function of sphincters including the esophagogastric …

Background: This study aimed to introduce a novel analysis paradigm, referred to as 4-
dimensional (4D) manometry based on biophysical analysis; 4D manometry enables the …

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the value of novel high-resolution impedance
manometry (HRIM) metrics, bolus flow time (BFT), and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) …

Background Esophagogastric junction distensibility index (DI), measured using the
functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP), correlates with symptomatic outcomes after …

Background The role of esophagogastric junction contractile integral (EGJ‐CI) as assessed
by high‐resolution manometry (HRM) is unclear. We aimed to correlate the EGJ‐CI with …

The concept of high-resolution manometry (HRM) is to use sufficient pressure sensors such
that intraluminal pressure can be monitored as a continuum along luminal length much as …

Background The esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is a complex structure that challenges
accurate manometric recording. This study aimed to define EGJ pressure morphology …

Background Integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) is a key metric for diagnosing
esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO). However, its normal value might be …

The esophagogastric junction contractile integral (EGJ-CI), designed similar to distal
contractile integral (DCI), has been proposed as a metric to evaluate EGJ barrier function …
