Efficacy of gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy remains similar after failure of interventional techniques in refractory gastroparesis.

Background And Aims: Gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is a new therapeutic option for the treatment of refractory gastroparesis. However, the outcome of G-POEM after the failure of gastric electrical stimulation (GES) or other pylorus-targeting therapies has been poorly reported.

Methods: Data were collected from patients referred for G-POEM for refractory gastroparesis.

Symptoms from the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index and clinical factors associated with delayed gastric emptying in patients with suspected gastroparesis.

Background: The association between upper gastrointestinal symptoms and delayed gastric emptying (GE) shows conflicting results. This study aimed to assess whether the symptoms of the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) and/or the scores were associated with the result of GE tests and whether they could predict delayed GE.

Methods: Patients referred for suspected gastroparesis (GP) were included in a prospective database.

Endoscopic Follow-Up Between 3 and 7 Years After Sleeve Gastrectomy Reveals Antral Reactive Gastropathy but no Barrett's Esophagus.

Background: The main concerns following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) include the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its complications, such as Barrett's esophagus (BE). However, there is conflicting data on esophageal conditions, and studies on alterations of gastric mucosa after SG are lacking, despite reported cases of gastric cancer. Our aim was to assess esophageal and gastric lesions after SG.

Daily practices in chemotherapy for advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma: METESTOMAC French prospective cohort.

Background: Around 50% of gastric cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Several chemotherapy regimens are now internationally validated. Few data are available on the routine daily management of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers.

Efficacy and safety of endoscopic pyloric balloon dilation in patients with refractory gastroparesis.

Background And Aims: There has been interest in the use of pyloric therapies for the treatment of refractory gastroparesis. However, data on endoscopic pyloric dilation are scarce. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of this procedure in refractory gastroparesis.
