Endo FLIP
Pharmacological treatment
• Transient effect on LES – results suboptimal
• Sublingual nitrate – best result
• Advantage – low cost & less complications
• Drawback – tachyphylaxis
• Overall poor efficacy
• Bridge to definitive therapy or on demand for chestpain
Botulinum toxin injection
• When to inject?
• Where to inject?
• How much to inject?
• Frequency of injection
• Clinical response at 1month – 75%-93%, at 1 yr – 25%-60%
• Side effects – transient – heartburn, chestpain, epigastric pain
Pneumatic dilation
Technique
• No clear consensus on optimal method
• Diameter of balloon -30,35,40mm
• Fluoroscopic/endoscopic guidance
• Pressure – 7-15psi
• Rate of balloon inflation
• Duration of balloon inflation
• No of balloon inflation per session
Efficacy in large trials
Predictors of relapse
• Male sex
• Age <40
• Dilated esophagus
• Poor esophageal emptying on TBE
• Type 3 achalasia

LHM
PD
POEM
• Recent addition to endoscopic armamentarium
• Minimally invasive technique
• Inoue etal 2010 – endoscopic alternative to Heller’s
Prerequisites
• 24hr fasting, esophagus to be
clean
• Broad spectrum antibiotics
• Supine position under GA
• Co2 insufflation – 1.2l/min
1.Mucosal entry
2.Submucosal tunneling
3.Endoscopic myotomy of circular muscle
4.Closure of mucosal entry
Post-op care
• NPO for 24hrs
• Dye study on Day2
• OGD on Day2
• Soft diet on Day2
• IV antibiotics for 3 days. Discharge on Day3
• Functional evaluation at 3months
Outcome
LHM vs POEM – Meta-analysis
POEMLHM
GERD symptoms post LHM & POEM
Advantages of POEM over Heller’s
• Less blood loss
• Shorter operating time
• Less post-op pain and analgesic use
• Shorter hospital stay
• Cost
Tailor myotomy according to the need of patient
3 concerns
• Post procedure reflux
• Durability of response
• Learning curve
Can HRM predict treatment outcome?
TYPE 2 Vs TYPE 1
TYPE 3 VS TYPE 1
Modified retrievable stents
summary
• Rare primary esophageal motility disorder
• Paradigm shift in diagnosis and management
• Medical management is ineffective
• PD is as effective as LHM in type 1&2 achalasia
• POEM represents a major advance in treatment of achalasia
• POEM may become the treatment of choice for achalasia in future

Achalasia

Editor's Notes

  1. Pseudoachalasia 2-4%. normal EGD should not dissuade a clinician from making the diagnosis because up to 40% of patients with achalasia will have normal endoscopy
  2. Multicenter trial across eurpe 200 patients – 100 in each group. 14 centres, 5 countries
  3. Scholttman etal – 53 studies(5800 patients) on LHM Vs 21 articles of POEM(1900 patients) – ANNALS OF SURGERY 2017
  4. GERD symptoms – 11% LHM vs 47% POEM
  5. Endoscopy int 2015
  6. 9 studies, 290 patients
