Persistence of Sutures and Gastric Reduction After Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty: Radiological and Endoscopic Assessment.

Background: Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an effective medium-term procedure for obesity treatment. There are no consistent studies confirming persistence of maintained gastric tubular configuration. We determined sleeve duration, gastric reduction degree, and suture persistence at 12-month follow-up.
