Heller myotomy in patients with prior endoscopic interventions vs the treatment-naïve
The perception of increased complexity of Heller myotomy in patients with prior endoscopic interventions does not translate to stastically significant differences in short- or long-term outcomes when compared to the treatment-naïve. A subtle longitudinal pattern of suboptimal esophageal emptying and increased reintervention for patients with prior intervention(s), suggests that, when possible, up-front myotomy may be preferred.
