NEWLY DEVELOPED EVALUATION OF ESOPHAGEAL WALL MOTION USING ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY VIA TRANSNASAL ENDOSCOPY: CLINICAL APPLICATION IN ESOPHAGEAL ACHALASIA
This pilot study successfully established a new, safe, and reproducible method for evaluating esophageal wall motion using transnasal EUS. This method will lead to a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of esophageal motility disorders and potentially to the development of new treatment strategies.
