Gastric ischemic conditioning before esophagectomy: contemporary practices and insights from an international survey
The survey indicates that less than half of the experts support GIC prior to esophagectomy, preferring its selective application. Laparoscopy is preferred over embolization, likely due to better tumor staging and greater hospital availability. Most respondents also prefer GIC to be performed more than 14 days before esophagectomy.
