► Deviere et al.,2003 reported the effects
of the injection of ethylene vinyl alcohol
polymer (Enteryx, Boston Scientific
Corp.) into the muscular layer of the LES
to increase its bulk.
► The procedure increased the LES
pressure and led to a sustained
reduction in heartburn score in most
patients at 6 months.
