Abstract:Background/Aims
There is an increased incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after lung transplantation (LT) that can be associated with graft dysfunction. It is unclear if the underlying esophageal motility changes in GERD are different following LT. This study aimed to use esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) to explore GERD mechanisms in LT recipients compared to matched controls.
