OBJECTIVES: Enhanced characterization of esophageal peristaltic and sphincter function
provided by esophageal pressure topography (EPT) offers a potential diagnostic advantage …

Ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring is an essential method in patients exhibiting signs of
non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) to make an objective diagnosis. Intra-esophageal pH …

Multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) is a new technique available for the evaluation of
esophageal bolus transit and reflux similar to barium swallow, but without the hazards of …

Measurement accuracy represents an important problem for all physicians using
esophageal pressure determinations for clinical or investigative assessment of esophageal …

Background Diagnostic evaluation of non‐achalasia esophageal dysphagia remains
challenging because of a lack of a clear relationship between symptoms, esophageal …

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition characterized by
troublesome symptoms or esophageal mucosal lesions attributed to excessive esophageal …

Objective: We performed through-the-scope-manometry of the esophagus on 12 patients
referred for esophageal symptoms. Methods: A 3-lumen polyvinyl tube was passed through …

Background. High‐resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) can calculate the bolus motion
parameters and the ratio of complete esophageal transit besides the conventional …

Introduction Patients with esophageal symptoms often remain with an uncertain diagnosis
after high‐resolution manometry. Aim To determine the added value of concomitant …

Oesophageal dysphagia is a common symptom, which might be related to severe
oesophageal diseases such as carcinomas. Therefore, an organic process must be ruled …
