Functional Lumen Imaging Probe as Part of Multimodality Assessment of Esophagogastric Junction Opening Is Important in Longitudinal Follow‐Up of Patients With Treated Achalasia
FLIP following achalasia therapy generally correlates with TBE, although discrepant findings are not uncommon. In particular, FLIP EGJ-diameter has a strong association with esophageal emptying on TBE. Both TBE and FLIP have limited association with clinical response based on Eckardt, with change in DI and diameter on FLIP most strongly associated. Consequently, FLIP as part of multimodal assessment appears useful in the longitudinal follow-up of treated achalasia.
