Assessment of Clinical Outcomes after Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy via Esophageal Distensibility Measurements with the Endoluminal Functional Lumen Imaging Probe.

Conclusions: Lower post-POEM DI values were associated with an incomplete post-POEM response. Therefore, post-POEM DI at the esophagogastric junction using EndoFLIP is a useful index for predicting the clinical outcome of POEM in patients with achalasia.
