Résumé
A small percentage of patients with esophageal dysmotility disorders (EDDs) fail to improve or relapse after management by laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study, we aimed to describe the role of functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) in identifying patients who might benefit from lower esophageal sphincter (LES)-directed retreatment. This was a retrospective study at 6 tertiary care centers (United States, 4; Europe, 1; Asia, 1) between January 2015 and April 2021 involving patients with prior failed myotomy. The primary outcome was the impact of the use of FLIP on the management of patients with prior failed myotomy. One hundred twenty-three patients (62 women [50%]; mean age, 53 ± 21.1 years) who underwent LHM (n = 53, 43%) or POEM (n = 70, 57%) for the management of achalasia (n = 98) or other EDDs (n = 25) had clinical failure at a median time of 10.8 months (interquartile range, .8-17.3) postprocedure. Twenty-nine patients had apposing "abnormal" diagnoses in terms of integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) >15 mm Hg on HRM and distensibility index (DI) <2.8 mm The finding of this study further suggests the important role of using FLIP in addition to HRM in evaluating patients with clinical failure postmyotomy.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
A small percentage of patients with esophageal dysmotility disorders (EDDs) fail to improve or relapse after management by laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study, we aimed to describe the role of functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) in identifying patients who might benefit from lower esophageal sphincter (LES)-directed retreatment.
METHODS
This was a retrospective study at 6 tertiary care centers (United States, 4; Europe, 1; Asia, 1) between January 2015 and April 2021 involving patients with prior failed myotomy. The primary outcome was the impact of the use of FLIP on the management of patients with prior failed myotomy.
RESULTS
One hundred twenty-three patients (62 women [50%]; mean age, 53 ± 21.1 years) who underwent LHM (n = 53, 43%) or POEM (n = 70, 57%) for the management of achalasia (n = 98) or other EDDs (n = 25) had clinical failure at a median time of 10.8 months (interquartile range, .8-17.3) postprocedure. Twenty-nine patients had apposing "abnormal" diagnoses in terms of integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) >15 mm Hg on HRM and distensibility index (DI) <2.8 mm
CONCLUSIONS
The finding of this study further suggests the important role of using FLIP in addition to HRM in evaluating patients with clinical failure postmyotomy.
