Clinical Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Testing in Esophageal Disorders: A Need for Better Quality Evidence

Abstract: In their article “Use of the Functional Lumen Imaging Probe in Clinical Esophagology,” Savarino et al. report the outcomes of a Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation analysis performed by experts in the use of functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) evaluation of esophageal disorders. For essentially all clinical indications, the recommendation for use was conditional with a very low quality of evidence. FLIP is an expensive, invasive technology examining limited aspects of esophagea… Show more

“…However, the results yielded by this technique are not based on the pathophysiologic understanding of esophageal motility disorders, and their significance is unknown. Therefore, the use of this inadequately evaluated, 26 expensive, and potentially risky technique for the investigation of esophageal motility disorders is not justified.…”

“…Como lo mencionamos, la EndoFLIP da información importante en el paciente con acalasia, como la distensibilidad del esófago y la UGE, mediante la medición del área de sección transversal de la unión gastroesofágica (CSA-UGE) a través de los sensores de impedancia más la presión (P) dentro del balón, cuyos valores se deben tomar cuando el balón se encuentra distendido con 60 mL de solución conductora (2,21). La relación CSA-UEG/P es el UGE-ID, cuyo valor normal es de 3,0-9,0 mm 2 /mm Hg.…”

“…La relación CSA-UEG/P es el UGE-ID, cuyo valor normal es de 3,0-9,0 mm 2 /mm Hg. Se considera francamente reducido entre 0-2,0 mm 2 /mm Hg y en zona gris entre 2,1-3,0 mm 2 /mm Hg (21). El UGE-ID se reduce en patologías con obstrucción o alteración de la relajación de la UGE, su valor francamente reducido se encuentra en el 91 % de los pacientes con acalasia, pero si se amplía el valor hasta la zona gris mejora su sensibilidad logrando estar presente en el 97 % de los pacientes con acalasia (22).…”
