An endoscopic strategy for oesophageal food bolus impactions: a multicentre retrospective study of 750 patients over a decade

These findings support the routine use of cap-assisted techniques and suggest that a push-based strategy could be considered as the initial approach in the endoscopic management of food bolus impactions.
