ABSTRACT
Achalasia is a disorder of impaired lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation and failed peristalsis traditionally characterized by manometry.1 As impaired LES relaxation is a mechanism of reduced esophagogastric junction (EGJ) opening, abnormally reduced EGJ distensibility assessed with functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) was reported among patients with untreated achalasia.2-5 Therefore, we aimed to describe the performance characteristics of EGJ opening parameters on FLIP panometry among a large cohort of treatment-naïve achalasia patients.
