Feasibility of Esophageal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection after Radiofrequency Ablation Treatment in Patients with Barrett ’s Esophagus

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a well-established treatment for Barrett ’s esophagus (BE) in the United States. Similarly, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been widely performed for early esophageal carcinoma. However, conducting ESD after RFA can be technically challenging. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of ESD in patients with prior RFA.
