Radiofrequency ablation for long- and ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus: a comparative long-term follow-up study

Radiofrequency ablation for long- and ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus: a comparative long-term follow-up study

Background The safety, efficacy, and durability of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), with or without EMR, have been established for long-segment Barrett's esophagus (LSBE). Ablating ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus (ULSBE) may be associated with increased stricture formation, eradication...

Zusammenfassung:Background The safety, efficacy, and durability of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), with or without EMR, have been established for long-segment Barrett's esophagus (LSBE). Ablating ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus (ULSBE) may be associated with increased stricture formation, eradication failure, and treatment session requirements. Objectives Our primary objective was to compare eradication and stricture rates between LSBE (≥3 to
