Abstract

Abstract : Initial esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) shows segmental contractions right above the gastro‐esophageal junction, which may be related to the symptoms. A clip was applied during a previously performed manometry. There was no evidence of stricture. High‐resolution manometry before peroral endoscopic myotomy shows a hypercontractile esophagus expressed as distal contractile integral > 8000 mmHg cm s two times out of 10.
