aka Functional Luminal Imaging Probe (FLIP)

aka Endoscopic esophageal topography, (eg EndoFLIP)

• often done before and after procedure to assess improvement

To Study

• Resources

Indications

• Achalasia

Assessment

• What is Normal?
• Assesses EGJ opening AND Contractile Response
  • normal = EGJ opens well, and normal peristalsis
• Measures
  • distensibility

    • 3 is normal

  • diameter
• Possible Results

Procedure

Outcomes

• pts with normal FLIP →
  • on 539 pts: 95% of have normal or IEM on HRM
  • 0% have achalasia
• in pts w achalasia → <1% have normal EGJ outflow on flip
