Technical Success in Performing Esophageal High-Resolution Manometry in Patients with an Epiphrenic Diverticulum

In conclusion, ED is a predictor of unsuccessful HRM. This appears to be mainly related to an inability to traverse the EGJ due to the size of the diverticulum. Consideration should be given to alternative means of evaluating motility, such as endoscopy-assisted HRM, given the high likelihood of failure with traditional HRM.
