Development of Adenocarcinoma After Radiofrequency Ablation of Barrett’s Esophagus Associated to Fundoplication and Suppression-Duodenal Diversion Procedure: A Lesson to Be Learned

Abstract

Despite endoscopic eradication therapy being an effective and durable treatment for Barrett’s esophagus-related neoplasia, even after achieving initial successful eradication, these patients remain at risk of recurrence and require ongoing routine examinations. Failure of radiofrequency ablation and argon plasma coagulation is reported in 10–20% of cases.
