Mechanisms of repetitive, retrograde contractions in response to sustained esophageal distension: A study evaluating patients with post-fundoplication dysphagia.

CONCLUSIONS: RRCs in response to sustained esophageal distension appear to be a manifestation of spastic esophageal motility. While future study to further clarify the significance of RRCs is needed, RRCs on FLIP panometry should prompt evaluation for a major motor disorder.
