Upper esophageal sphincter during transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation: effects of reflux content and posture.
Although some studies show that the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) contracts during transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR), others show that it relaxes. We hypothesized that the posture of the subject and constituents of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) may determine the type of UES response during the TLESR. High-resolution manometry and esophageal pH/impedance recording were p...
متن کاملEsophageal sphincter device for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
BACKGROUND Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who have a partial response to proton-pump inhibitors often seek alternative therapy. We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of a new magnetic device to augment the lower esophageal sphincter. METHODS We prospectively assessed 100 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease before and after sphincter augmentation. The study did not...
متن کاملOutcomes of esophageal surgery, especially of the lower esophageal sphincter.
This paper includes commentaries on outcomes of esophageal surgery, including the mechanisms by which fundoduplication improves lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure; the efficacy of the Linx™ management system in improving LES function; the utility of radiologic characterization of antireflux valves following surgery; the correlation between endoscopic findings and reported symptoms follow...
متن کاملPharmacologic identification of the lower esophageal sphincter.
The distal 2/3 of the opossum esophagus contains only smooth muscle. Manometry shows that the most distal 1-2 cm is the lower esophageal sphincter. We used a variety of agonists to seek differences between circular muscle from the sphincteric segment and more rostral levels. Isometric contractions of strips from the distal 6 cm were recorded in vitro in response to acetylcholine, carbachol, met...
متن کاملPathophysiology of GERD: Lower Esophageal Sphincter Defects
44 INTRODUCTION T he most common cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is lower esophageal sphincter (LES) dysfunction. The LES is a 3–4 cm high-pressure zone of muscular activity in the distal esophagus. The LES is anatomically and histologically distinct from the esophageal body. Manometric and radiographic studies can be used to identify the LES. Intraluminal manometry can detect t...
