Background And Aims: Based on the porcine natural antireflux mechanism, we developed a novel endoscopic procedure to build an antireflux mucosal flap to block acid reflux and treat GERD.
Methods: The antireflux mucosal valvuloplasty (ARMV) procedure is performed by releasing and reconstructing three-fourths of the circumference of cardiac mucosa at the lesser curvature side into a double-layer mucosal flap. The mucosal flap works together with cardiac scarring to block reflux.
Endoscopic dilation (ED) is the mainstream treatment for esophageal stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, some complex esophageal strictures do not respond well to dilation. Endoscopic radial incision (ERI) has proved to be effective in treating anastomotic strictures, but it is rarely used to treat post-ESD esophageal strictures due to technical difficulties and risks, not to mention the optimal method and timing to perform ERI.
