Article Synopsis
- TIF 2.0 is an advanced endoscopic procedure for treating GERD, showing high clinical success (94%) and significant symptom improvement in patients after one year.
- In a study of 81 patients, most reported a dramatic increase in satisfaction from 8% to 79%, and many reduced their reliance on proton pump inhibitors from 81% to 80% post-procedure.
- The procedure demonstrated safety with no serious adverse events reported, confirming its effectiveness as an outpatient treatment for appropriate GERD patients.
Background: Endoscopic resection (ER) is an emerging therapeutic alternative for subepithelial gastrointestinal lesions (SELs). We aimed to determine whether size, layer of origin, and histology based on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and EUS-guided sampling (EUS-GS) influenced the outcomes and selection of patients for ER.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent EUS, EUS-GS and resection of SELs from 2012-2019.

For this reason, a number of medical, behavioral, hygienic-dietetic and surgical therapies have been used in an attempt to solve or palliate this problem. In these last years, we have seen a growing number of endoscopic therapies directly targeted to treat obesity and its complications, and its clinical usefulness is relatively unknown.
