Rapid drink challenge test during esophageal high resolution manometry in patients with esophago ‐gastric junction outflow obstruction

Conclusions & InferencesPan‐esophageal pressurization and esophageal shortening were associated with symptoms severity but did not predict the cause of this disorder. Further prospective studies are necessary to determine if RDC test could help to select patients who might benefit from treatment. Pan‐esophageal pressurization during rapid drink challenge test was associated with more severe dysphagia but not with specific cause of esophago‐gastric junction obstruction. Esophageal shortening was more likely associated with definitive findings of obstruction.
